3.2 Effect of the Merger. At and after the Statutory Merger Time, as defined in Section 2.3 below, the effect of the Merger shall, in all legal respects, be as provided in the Georgia Act and the Florida Act. From and after the Statutory Merger Time, the Surviving Corporation shall continue to be a Georgia corporation.

3.3 Filing of Certificates of Merger. The Merger shall be legally effected by the filing at the time of the Closing or as soon as practicable thereafter, of the Articles of Merger (the “Articles of Merger”), substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.3 attached hereto, with the Secretary of the State of Florida and the Secretary of the State of Georgia in accordance with the provisions of the Florida Act and the Georgia Act, respectively (hereinafter the “Statutory Merger Time”). The Parties shall take any and all other lawful actions and do any and all other lawful things necessary to cause the Merger to become effective.

Each director and officer of the Surviving Corporation shall hold office in accordance with the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

3.7 Tax Consequences. It is intended by the Parties hereto that the Merger shall constitute a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(D) of the Code.

3.8 Additional Actions. If, at any time after the Closing, PainCare shall consider or be advised that any further acts are necessary or desirable: (a) to vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the Surviving Corporation, title to and possession of any property or right of the Company by reason of, or as a result of, the Merger; or (b) otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, then the Shareholder shall be deemed to have granted to PainCare an irrevocable power of attorney to execute and deliver all such deeds, assignments and assurances in law and to do all other acts necessary or proper to vest, perfect or confirm title to and possession of such property or rights in the Surviving Corporation and otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement; and the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation are fully authorized in the name of the Shareholder and the Company to take any and all such actions.

3.9 No Dissenters’ Rights. As a result of the unanimous approval of the transactions contemplated herein by the Shareholder; neither the Shareholder, nor any other party, is entitled to dissenters’ rights under the laws of the State of Georgia or the State of Florida.

3.10 Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Company’s Shares. At the Closing, the Shareholder shall be required to surrender to PainCare the original stock certificates evidencing one hundred (100) shares of stock issued and outstanding, which immediately prior to the Closing Date represented all of the Company Shares (the “Certificate”) (together with all stock powers duly endorsed to PainCare). Until so surrendered, each Certificate which immediately prior to the Closing Date represented the Company Shares (other than Company Shares held in the Company treasury) shall upon and after the Closing Date by virtue of the Merger be deemed for all purposes to represent and evidence only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, as hereinafter defined, as provided in this Agreement.

(b) Dividends. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to the PainCare Shares with a record date after the Closing will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the PainCare Shares represented thereby until the holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to applicable law, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the Certificate representing whole PainCare Shares issued in exchange therefor, without interest, at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Closing payable with respect to such whole PainCare Shares.

3.11 Intentionally Omitted.

3.12 Conversion of Shares. Each share of capital stock of Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing shall continue to represent one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation after the Merger. By virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Shareholder the Company Shares shall be converted into the Merger Consideration. The PainCare Shares to be received by the Shareholder as the Merger Consideration shall be subject to restrictions of the sale, transfer or distribution thereof as set forth in Section 4.36.

3.13 Shareholder Consent and Release. The Shareholder hereby consents to the Transaction and approves the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Effective on the Closing Date, the Shareholder hereby releases PainCare, the Company and the Surviving Corporation from any and all claims he may, could or will have, whether arising before or after the Closing Date, against the Company or the Surviving Corporation as a result of the Shareholder having served as a stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, or in any other capacity of the Company; provided, however, such release shall not operate to release the Company (or the Surviving Corporation as successor to the Company) from (i) Shareholder’s rights (whether arising under the Company’s By-Laws or by statute) to indemnification, or (ii) the obligation to make the distributions of pre-Closing Date income as permitted under this Agreement, or (iii) claims, if any, arising from Shareholder serving as a guarantor or joint-obligor with respect to those certain obligations of the Company as identified in Section 2.13 of the Disclosure Schedule.

3.14 Registration.

(a) If within the three (3) year period commencing on the Execution Date PainCare proposes for any reason to register the PainCare Shares under the Securities Act [other than a registration in connection with an exchange offer (Form S-4) or filed in connection with an employee stock option or other benefit plan (Form S-8, or any substitute form that may be adopted by the Commission)], PainCare shall promptly give written notice to the Shareholder of its intention to so register the PainCare Shares and, upon written request by the Shareholder, given within twenty (20) days after delivery of any such notice by PainCare, to include in such registration PainCare Shares held by the Shareholder (which request shall specify the number of PainCare Shares proposed to be included in such registration), PainCare shall attempt to cause all such PainCare Shares to be included in such registration on the same terms and conditions as the securities otherwise being included in such registration; provided however, that if the managing underwriters advise PainCare that the inclusion of the PainCare Shares proposed to be included in such registration would interfere with the successful marketing (including pricing) of the PainCare Shares proposed to be registered by PainCare, then if such registration is in part an underwritten primary or secondary registration on behalf of PainCare, PainCare shall include in such registration the PainCare Shares requested to be included in such registration, pro rata from among the holders of any and all PainCare shares to be registered pursuant to such registration according to the number of shares proposed by each holder to be included. In the event PainCare determines not to pursue, or to withdraw, a registration as to which it has given notice pursuant to this section, the Shareholder shall have no further rights hereunder with respect to such proposed registration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section to the contrary, PainCare shall not be required to include any of the PainCare Shares in a registration statement relating to an underwritten offering of PainCare’s securities unless the Shareholder accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between PainCare and the underwriters selected by it, including, without limitation, any Underwriter’s Cutback and/or Lockup, and the Shareholder agrees to promptly execute and/or deliver such documents in connection with such registration as PainCare or the managing underwriter may reasonably request.

(b) The Shareholder may exercise his rights under Section 2.14(a) above on an unlimited number of occasions. PainCare shall pay all Registration Expenses (as defined below) of any registration effected under this Section, except that in the event of withdrawal by the Shareholder, the Shareholder shall pay (or reimburse PainCare for) the amount of registration, filing or listing fees relating to his PainCare Shares included in the registration and shall pay the fees of PainCare’s counsel associated with such withdrawal, unless such withdrawal is due to the Shareholder obtaining material adverse information that was not known by him at the time he requested inclusion of his PainCare Shares in the registration.

(c) The Shareholder may not participate in any registration under this Section which is underwritten unless he agrees to sell such PainCare Shares on the basis provided in any underwriting agreement (with terms not inconsistent herewith and customary in underwriting agreements for secondary distributions) approved by PainCare, provided that the Shareholder shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to PainCare or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding such Shareholder and such Shareholder’s intended method of distribution).

3.15 Shareholder’s Obligation to Furnish Information. PainCare may require Shareholder to furnish PainCare such information regarding the distribution of such securities as PainCare may from time to time reasonably request. If the failure by the Shareholder to furnish such information as expeditiously as possible would prevent (i) the registration statement relating to such registration from being declared effective by the Securities Exchange Commission, or (ii) members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. from participating in the distribution of the PainCare Shares proposed to be registered, PainCare may exclude the Shareholder’s PainCare Shares from such registration.

3.16 Suspension of Sales Pending Amendment to Prospectus.

(a) The Shareholder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from PainCare of the happening of any event of that requires PainCare not to proceed with the registration, or if PainCare has decided not to proceed with the registration for any reason, the Shareholder shall forego the disposition of any PainCare Shares covered by the registration statement or prospectus until he is advised in writing by PainCare that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed and, if so directed by PainCare, the Shareholder shall deliver to PainCare (at PainCare’s expense, except as hereinafter provided) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in Shareholder’s possession of any prospectus covering such PainCare Shares.

(b) The Shareholder agrees that he shall, as expeditiously as possible, notify PainCare at any time when a prospectus relating to a registration statement covering such Shareholder’s PainCare Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event which requires changes to be made in the registration statement or any related prospectus so that such registration statement or prospectus shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading as a result of any information provided by the Shareholder for inclusion in such prospectus included in such registration statement and, at the request of PainCare, as expeditiously as possible prepare and furnish to it such information as may be necessary so that, after incorporation into a supplement or amendment of such prospectus as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such PainCare Shares, the information

provided by such Shareholder shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or a misstatement of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading and, in such event the expenses of delivery to PainCare of copies of any prospectus in the Shareholder’s possession shall be at the expense of the Shareholder.

3.17 Registration Expenses.

(a) All expenses incident to PainCare’s performance of or compliance with its obligations under this Section 2, including without limitation all (i) registration and filing fees, (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with securities laws, (iii) printing expenses, (iv) messenger and delivery expenses, (v) internal expenses, (vi) reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel and its independent certified public accountants (including “comfort” letters), (vii) securities act liability insurance, (viii) reasonable fees and expenses of any special experts retained by PainCare in connection with the registration hereunder, and (ix) reasonable fees and expenses of other persons retained by PainCare (all such expenses being referred to herein as “Registration Expenses”) shall be borne by PainCare.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following costs and expenses shall be excluded from the term “Registration Expenses”: (i) all underwriting discounts and commissions, (ii) all applicable transfer taxes, (iii) the fees and disbursements of any counsel retained by the Shareholder, and (iv) except as provided in Section 2.17(a), all other costs, fees, and expenses incurred by the Shareholder in connection with the exercise of his registration rights hereunder.

10. COVENANTS. The Parties covenant and agree as follows:

10.1 Deliveries. PainCare will promptly deliver and make available to Shareholder copies of any filings made by it under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act, including the exhibits thereto and any correspondence with the Securities Exchange Commission or its staff.

10.2 Post-Closing General Covenant. In the event that at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the Parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other Party may reasonably request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting Party; provided, however, that the costs and expenses associated with the taking of any action necessary to execute or deliver to PainCare any stock powers and such other instruments of transfer as may be necessary to transfer ownership of the Company’s Shares by the Shareholder shall be borne by the Shareholder.

10.3 Tax Returns. Xx. Xxxxxxx shall be responsible for preparing and filing all income or franchise Tax Returns of the Company relating to periods of time prior to the Closing Date. PainCare and the Subsidiary will provide to Xx. Xxxxxxx access to all books and records of the Company necessary to the preparation of such Tax Returns and the Surviving Corporation, as the successor to the Company will execute such Tax Returns. The Shareholder will take no positions on the Tax Returns of the Company that relate to the tax period prior to the Closing Date that could adversely affect the Company or PainCare after the Closing. The Shareholder will provide PainCare with an opportunity to review and comment on such Tax Returns (including any amended returns). PainCare will be responsible for preparing and filing all income and franchise Tax Returns of the Surviving Corporation relating to periods after the Closing. The income of the Company will be apportioned to the period up to the Closing Date and the period from and after the Closing Date in accordance with the provisions of Code Section 1362(e)(6)(D) by closing the books of the Company as of the close of business on the last calendar day immediately preceding the Closing Date, with recognition that the Company files on that basis of a cash rather than accrual method.

10.4 Transition. Neither the Shareholder nor the Company will take any action that is designed, intended or likely to have the effect of discouraging any lessor, licensor, customer, supplier or other business associate of the Company from maintaining the same business relationships with the Surviving Corporation after the Closing as he, she or it maintained with the Company prior to the Closing.

10.5 Litigation Support. In the event and for so long as any Party actively is contesting or defending against any action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim or demand in connection with: (a) any transaction contemplated under this Agreement; or (b) any fact, situation, circumstances, status, condition, activity, practice, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving the Company, each of the Parties will cooperate with the contesting or defending Party and its or his counsel in the contest or defense, at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending Party except to the extent that the contesting or defending party is entitled to indemnification therefor under this Agreement.

10.6 Consents. The Shareholder hereby covenants and agrees that he will use his best efforts to obtain all authorizations, consents, and approvals set forth in Section 4.4(b) of the Disclosure Schedule. If such consent, approval or agreement is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment thereof would affect the rights of the parties thereunder so that such parties would not in fact receive all such rights, the Parties will cooperate in any arrangement designed to provide for the Parties to receive the benefits under any such contract, including enforcement for the benefit of PainCare and Surviving Corporation of any and all rights of the Shareholder against a third party thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation by such third party or otherwise.

10.7 Capital Adjustments. In the event of a stock dividend, recapitalization, or merger in which PainCare is the surviving corporation, split-up, combination or exchange of shares or the like which results in a change in the number or kind of shares of common stock which is outstanding immediately prior to such event, the rights of the Shareholder to receive PainCare Shares in respect of this Agreement and the price thereof, shall be appropriately adjusted in the same manner as the number and kind of shares a shareholder of PainCare who owned the same number and kind of shares immediately prior to such event. Such adjustments shall be made in good faith by the Board of Directors of PainCare, whose determination shall be conclusive and binding on all parties, subject to manifest error.

In case of any consolidation or merger of PainCare with or into another party or parties or the conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of PainCare to another party or parties or a share exchange transaction involving more than 50% of the issued and outstanding common stock of PainCare, the PainCare Shares and right to receive PainCare Shares shall thereafter be convertible into the number of shares of stock, options or other securities or property to which a shareholder of the PainCare who owned the same number and kind of shares prior to such event would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, conversion or exchange; and, in any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Shareholder’s right to receive PainCare Shares, to the end that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably possible, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the Shareholder’s entitlement to same.

11. SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION.

11.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All of the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements including but not limited to the restrictive covenants and the indemnification provisions contained in this Agreement are material and have been relied upon by the Parties hereto and shall survive the Closing for their applicable statute of limitations. The representations and warranties contained herein shall not be affected by any investigation, verification or examination by any Party or by anyone on behalf of such Party.

11.2 Indemnification Provisions for the Benefit of PainCare and Subsidiary. In the event of: (a) a misrepresentation (or in the event any third party alleges facts that, if true, would mean a misrepresentation) of any of the Company’s or the Shareholder’s representations and/or warranties contained in this Agreement; (b) a breach (or in the event any third party alleges facts that, if true, would mean a breach) of any of the Company’s or the Shareholder’s covenants contained in this Agreement, or; (c) any Liability of the Company of any nature whatsoever accrued or existing as of the Closing Date or related to actions of the Company or the Shareholder which occurred prior to the Closing Date, which is not reflected on the Financial Statements, the Closing Date Balance Sheet, or Section 10.2 of the Disclosure Schedule and which PainCare explicitly agrees as documented in Section 10.2 of the Disclosure Schedule to assume or take the assets of the Company subject to, as the case may be, then the Shareholder agrees to indemnify PainCare and Surviving Corporation from and against any Adverse Consequences PainCare and Subsidiary may suffer through and after the date of the claim for indemnification resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the misrepresentation or breach (or alleged breach) or non-disclosed Liability. No provision of this Agreement, including but not in any way limited to, any “Knowledge” qualifiers or materiality standards in the representations and warranties of the Shareholder, shall have any effect on the Shareholder’s obligation to provide indemnity of any Liability arising prior to the Closing Date which was required but omitted from the Disclosure Schedule.

11.3 Indemnification Provisions for the Benefit of the Shareholder. In the event of a misrepresentation or breach (or in the event any third party alleges facts that, if true, would mean a misrepresentation or breach) of any of PainCare’s or Subsidiary’s representations, warranties, and covenants contained in this Agreement, then PainCare and Subsidiary agree to indemnify the Shareholder from and against any Adverse Consequences the Shareholder may suffer through and after the date of the claim for indemnification resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the breach (or the alleged breach).

11.4 Matters Involving Third Parties.

(a) Notification. If any third party shall notify any Party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) pursuant to this Section 10, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless the Indemnifying Party thereby is prejudiced and then only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced.

(b) Defense by Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as: (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within ten (10) business days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim; (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder; (iii) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief; (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party; and (e) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently.

(c) Satisfactory Defense. So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 10.4(b) above: (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim; (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld or delayed unreasonably); and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be withheld or delayed unreasonably) and any such settlement must include a complete release of the Indemnified Party.

(d) Conditions. In the event any of the conditions in Section 10.4(b) above is or becomes unsatisfied, however: (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith); (ii) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses); and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Section 10.

11.5 Right to Set-Off. If any such cost, loss, damage, expense, liability, claim, or obligation occurs or is incurred by PainCare or the Surviving Corporation, PainCare shall have the right, after written notice to the Shareholder, at PainCare’s option and in addition to any other actions permitted by law, to offset the amount of any such cost, loss, damage, expense, liability, obligation or claim against amounts due from PainCare or Subsidiary to the Shareholder, including the right to offset any post-closing payment due from PainCare or Subsidiary to the Shareholder under this Agreement or any other agreement.

11.6 Materiality. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party in connection with a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement included in this Agreement, and the amount of damages to be indemnified, shall be determined without regard to any “material”, “materiality” (or correlative meanings”) or “Material Adverse Effect” qualifications, provisions or exceptions set forth in such representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement, each of which shall be deemed to be given for the purposes of this Section 10 as though there were no such qualifications, provisions or exceptions.

11.7 Limitation. The indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 10 shall be limited to all claims in excess of Twenty Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000) (the “Threshold”). Once a claim exceeds the Threshold, if a Party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 10, such party shall recover all appropriate funds from the first dollar of damages. Further, the indemnitors shall not be liable for any liabilities resulting from claims that are covered by any insurance policy or other indemnity or contribution agreement unless, and only to the extent that, the full limit of such insurance policy, indemnity or contribution agreement has been exceeded. The Party entitled to indemnification shall have a duty to mitigate its damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party’s obligation to indemnify under this Article 10 shall be limited to an amount equal to $1,125,000 plus the amount of any Contingent Installment Payments paid or due pursuant to Section 3.4 of this Agreement prior to any reduction of such Installment Payments permitted under Section 3.4(g); provided however that such cap shall not be applicable to Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.8, 4.10, 4.11, 4.17, 4.18, 4.19, 4.20, 4.21, 4.22, 4.25, 4.26, 4.27, 4.36, 4.37 and 4.38.

12. RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS; CONFIDENTIALITY.

12.1 Restrictive Covenants.

(a) Restricted Period. Xx Xxxxxxx hereby agrees that during the time period commencing as of the Closing Date and continuing for a period of three (3) years thereafter (the “Restricted Period”), neither Xx. Xxxxxxx nor any of his Affiliates, shall, other than on behalf of PainCare or the Surviving Corporation, directly or indirectly, for himself, or on behalf of any other corporation, person, firm, partnership, association, or any other entity whatsoever (whether as an individual, agent, servant, employee, employer, officer, director, shareholder, investor, principal, consultant or in any other capacity whatsoever) take any action or undertake any matter set forth in 11.1(a)(i)-(ii) below; provided, however, that the Restricted Period shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) any bankruptcy, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors applicable to PainCare, or (ii) upon a default by PainCare in any material covenant or term of this Agreement to be performed after the Closing if Xx. Xxxxxxx shall have given written notice of such default to PainCare and such default shall not have been cured within 30 business days after the giving of such notice.

(i) Own, manage, operate, control or participate in any manner in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or serve as a partner, employee, principal, agent, consultant or otherwise with, or have any financial interest in, or aid or assist any other

person or entity in the conduct of any ambulatory surgery center or any medical practice that provides any physician-office surgery services or procedures at such practice’s facilities that could be performed at the ASC, where such ambulatory surgery center or medical practice performs services within a one hundred (100) mile radius of any office of the Surviving Corporation or PainCare; provided, however, this prohibition does not prevent Shareholder from performing professional medical services only at any ambulatory surgery center or hospital.

(ii) Solicit or engage in the solicitation of, or serve or accept any business from patients, insurance companies, managed care plans, employers or other customers of the business conducted by the Surviving Corporation for services competitive with those of the Surviving Corporation, and their successors and assigns;

(iii) Request, induce or advise any patients, insurance companies, managed care plans, suppliers, vendors, employers or other customers of the business conducted by the Surviving Corporation to withdraw, curtail or cancel their business or other relationships with the Surviving Corporation, or assist, induce, help or join any other person or entity in doing any of the above activities; or

(iv) Induce or attempt to influence any employee of the Surviving Corporation, PainCare, and/or its subsidiaries to terminate his or her employment with the Surviving Corporation, PainCare, and/or its subsidiaries, or to hire, recruit or solicit any such employee, whether or not so induced or influenced.

(b) Consideration. PainCare, the Subsidiary and Xx. Xxxxxxx have carefully considered the nature and extent of the restrictions imposed by this Section 11.1 and the rights and remedies conferred upon PainCare and Subsidiary hereunder and hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that: (i) the restricted territory, period, and activities are reasonable and are necessary and fully required to protect the legitimate business interests of PainCare and Subsidiary; (ii) any violation of the terms of these restrictive covenants would have a substantial detrimental effect on PainCare’s and Surviving Corporation’s businesses; (iii) the restrictive covenants do not stifle Xx. Xxxxxxx’x inherent skill and experience; and (iv) would not operate as a bar to any of Xx. Xxxxxxx’x means of support. Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to PainCare and the Surviving Corporation as a result of the breach of the foregoing covenants, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that would be caused to PainCare and the Surviving Corporation for which it would have no other adequate remedy, Xx. Xxxxxxx agrees that, in the event of a breach by him of the foregoing covenants, the covenants set forth in this Section 11.1 may be enforced by PainCare and the Surviving Corporation by injunctions and restraining orders, in addition to all other available legal remedies.

(c) Third-Party Beneficiaries. All successors and assigns of PainCare, Subsidiary, all Affiliates of PainCare and Subsidiary, and all successors and assigns of such Affiliates are third-party beneficiaries of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 11.1 and the provisions of this Section 11.1 are intended for the benefit of, and may be enforced by, PainCare’s and Subsidiary’s successors and assigns and PainCare’s and Subsidiary’s Affiliates and such Affiliates’ successors and assigns.

12.2 Defenses. The existence of any claim or cause of action by the Shareholder against PainCare or Subsidiary, whether predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by PainCare, Subsidiary, or any of PainCare’s or Subsidiary’s successors and assigns or Affiliates and such Affiliates’ successors and assigns, but shall be litigated separately. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

12.3 No Running of Covenant During Breach. The covenants set forth in this Section 11 shall apply for the applicable periods as set forth above. If Xx. Xxxxxxx violates such covenants, and PainCare, the Surviving Corporation or any of their successors and assigns or Affiliates bring a legal action for injunctive or other relief, such party bringing the action shall not, as a result of the time involved in obtaining the relief, be deprived of the benefit of the full period of the covenant period, unless a court of competent jurisdiction holds that the covenant is not enforceable in whole or in part. Accordingly, for any time period that Xx. Xxxxxxx is in violation of the covenant, such time period shall not be included in calculating the applicable time period of the covenant.

12.4 Blue Pencil Doctrine. The covenants set forth in this Section 11 are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant. Moreover, in the event any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which the court deems reasonable, and the Agreement shall thereby be reformed.

12.5 Confidentiality, Press Releases, and Public Announcements.

(a) No Party shall issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other Parties.

(b) The Parties covenant and agree that from and after the Execution Date, neither of the Parties nor their Affiliates (to the extent any such Affiliate has received Confidential Information as defined below or Trade Secrets, as defined below) shall disclose, divulge, furnish or make accessible to anyone any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets, or in any way use any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets in the conduct of any business; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11.5 will prohibit the disclosure of any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets which is required to be disclosed by a Party or any of its or his Affiliates in connection with any court action or any proceeding before any authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a disclosure contemplated by this Section 11.5, no disclosure shall be made until the disclosing Party shall give notice to the non-disclosing Party of the intention to disclose such Confidential Information or Trade Secrets so that the non-disclosing Party may contest the need for disclosure, and the disclosing Party will cooperate (and will cause its or his Affiliates and their respective representatives to cooperate) with the non-disclosing in connection with any such proceeding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement which may be to the contrary, the foregoing provisions restricting the use of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets shall survive the Closing for the time period equal to five (5) years from the Execution Date. For the purpose of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean all records, files, reports, protocols, policies, manuals,

databases, processes, procedures, computer systems, materials and other documents pertaining to the operations of a Party and the term “Trade Secrets” shall mean information, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique, or process that: (i) derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and (ii) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.

12.6 Conduct of Business. From the date hereof through the Closing, the Shareholder shall, except as contemplated by this Agreement, or as consented to by PainCare in writing, cause the Company to be operated in the ordinary course and in accordance with past practice and will not take any action inconsistent with this Agreement or with the consummation of the Closing.

13. MISCELLANEOUS.

13.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the documents referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, to the extent they related in any way to the subject matter hereof.
