Reference is hereby made to the following documents: 1, Purchase and Sale Agreement dated December 1, 2014, by and between Mr. Reitz and R&O on the one hand, and Isolani, LLC (“Isolani”) on the other hand (“P&S Agreement”); 2.

Ohta, Esq. oasis Page 2 0f4 Isolani/Philidor and its representatives have feiled to refute, or even respond in most cases, to the various allegations of fraud and malfeasance that Mr. Reitz has levelled at them over the past two months. It is now crystal clear that Isolani/Philidor fraudulently induced Mr. Reitz to sign the Agreements in order to allow Isolani/Philidor to engage in a massive fraud. Isolani/Philidor never intended to honor the Agreements and have, in fact, not honored them in any way. Therefore, please be advised that the Agreements are void and unenforceable and Mr. Reitz and R&O hereby terminate all of the Agreements, effective immediately, + Mr. Reitz has detailed Isolani/Philidor and its representatives? fraud and malfeasance in painstaking detail through numerous emails and letters, most notably: 1, Mr. Reitz’s July 14, 2015 email to Eric Rice, Christopher Urban, Jamie Fleming, ‘Sherri Leon and John Came; 2. Mr. Reita’s July 20, 2015 email to Andrew Davenport; and 3. Our office’s July 22, 2015 letter to Mr. Rice. Copies of these documents are attached hereto as Exhibits 1, 2 & 3 for ease of reference. ‘These letters sind emails catalog Mr. Reitz’s grave concems regarding Isolani’s relationship to Philidor and Valeant Pharmaceuticals International; Isolani/Philidor's billing practices; the pressure that Isolani/Philidor placed on Mr. Reitz to sign blatantly false audit responses; and other highly questionable conduct. Itis now readily apparent that Isolani is simply a shell created by Philidor to perpetrate a massive fraud against not only Mr. Reitz and R&O, but also the California State Board of Pharmacy, various payer networks and as yet unknown entities and individuals. Just @ couple of months ago, Mr. Reitz discovered that in May of 2014, the California State Board of Pharmacy denied Philidor’s application for a Nonresident Pharmacy Permit based on numerous false statements in Philidor’s application (a fact that Philidor never revealed to Mr. Reitz). ‘Thus, Philidor targeted Mr. Reitz and R&O back in the fall of 2014 because it needed access to R&O’s valuable multi-state pharmacy licenses and payer contracts. Philidor then created solani as the instrumentality to improperly use R&O's NCPDP and NPI numbers to distribute pharmaceuticals in jurisdictions that Philidor would not have had access to but for R&O. Several times now, Mr. Reitz has demanded that Isolani/Philidor cease the illegal use of R&O's NCPDP and NPI numbers, On July 19, 2015, Mr. Davenport provided Mr. Reitz with written assurance via email that Isolani/Philidor had ceesed such activities. A copy of Mr. : Davenport's email is attached hereto as Exhibit 4 for ease of reference, THE KAUFMAN LAW GROUP. Jason M, Ohta, Esq, os3/is Page 3 of 4 Now, Mr. Reitz’s worst fears have been realized, as he has obtained irrefutable proof that, despite Mr, Davenport’s written assurance, Isolani/Philidor continue to use R&O’s NCPDP and NPI numbers to bill payers for prescriptions dispensed by Philidor. If that were not enough, Mr. Reitz: now has concrete evidence that representatives of Isolani/Philidor have signed false and misleading payer audits and falsely represented themselves as officers or employees of R&O (which of course they are not) to certain payers. Based on the above, Mr. Reitz reiterates that the Agreements are hereby terminated, effective immediately. Mr. Reitz. and R&O hereby demand that Isolani, Philidor and all of their representatives, agents and employees immediately cease and desist any and all activities in connection with R&O and take no further action. Specifically, Isolani, Philidor, and their representatives shall not: 1. __ Represent themselves as agents or employees of R&O to anyone, anywhere; 2, Take any further prescriptions on R&O’s behalf; 3. Have any further contact with Mr. Reitz and/or R&O’s employees; 4, Dispense any prescriptions on R&O’s behalf; 5. Bill for any prescriptions on R&O’s behalf; 6. Sign any payer audits on behalf of R&O; 7. Communicate with any payers and/or auditors on R&O’s behalf; or 8 Use R&O’s NCPDP or NPI numbers in any way, Please be further advised that Mr. Reitz will retain any and all funds in R&O’s possession in order to protect himself and Ré&O from any and all liabilities, known or unknown, to which Isolani/Philidor have exposed them. Mr. Reitz also anticipates that he and R&O will incur further > damages from Isolani/Philidor’s actions. Therefore, Mr. Reitz and R&O reserve the right to pursue further action against Isolani/Philidor to recover proper compensation. Demand is also hereby made that Isolani/Philidor immediately retum or destroy any protected health information (as defined in the BAA. Agreement) that Isolani/Philidor may have © created or received during its relationship with R&O. Mr. Reitz further demands that Isolani/Philidor immediately provide him with copies of all communications that Isolani/Philidor has had, or may have in the future, with R&O’s payers and/or auditors related to past audits, present audits, future audits, or inquiries related to any audits.

First and foremost is the issue of Philidor’s improper, and perhaps illegal, use of my NCPDP number without my knowledge or consent to bill for prescriptions that were either: 1. filled by some other pharmacy (in some cases for drugs that R&O did not even stock or dispense); or 2, were filled and billed before the execution of the R&O purchase and sale agreement. {have been asked several times now to sign off on payer audits that reflect these types transactions. | am ‘not aware of any authority that would permit these types of practices. However, given your size and resources, perhaps you know something | don’t. if you have some authority that you believe authorizes these practices, please provide it to me no later than Friday, July 17, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific. | have asked for such authority from Jamie Fleming and Chris Urban and they have promised to provide it to me, but as of this writing I have received nothing. Therefore, | am inclined to believe that this authority does not exist. Even more troubling, when | first inquired about these audits and sought answers as to why some of the prescriptions appeared to have been filled by Philidor RX Services, not R&O, the response was to provide me with the same prescriptions, but with the Philidor Name eliminated. Needless to say, | was not fooled and 1 refused to sign off on the audit, Based on these issues, and pending my receipt of the requested authority, as owner of R&O and the PIC in charge, | hereby demand that you cease and desist these activities immediately. The second, no less urgent issue that you must address is the status of Philidor / Isolani’s pharmacy permit application. As you may know, section 4,3 of the purchase and sale agreement for R&O called for written assurance from the California State Board of Pharmacy that itis prepared to immediately issue a temporary pharmacy permit. 1 know from past experience that this process does not take 7 months. | want to know why this has taken so long and I want copies of any and all internal transmittals / correspondence regarding this issue, as well as copies of all correspondence between Philidor / Isolani and the Pharmacy board regarding this issue. Ihave requested this information from Dean Griffin, but as of this writing, have still not received it. This fact, combined with my recent discovery that in December 2014, the California State Board of Pharmacy denied Philidor’s application for a Nonresident Pharmacy Permit based on numerous false statements in the application (which was never revealed to me at any point), leads me to believe that you have never submitted any permit applications to the board in connection with R&O. Please be advised that if | do not receive satisfactory answers to my concerns by Friday, July 17, 2015 at 10:00, a.m. Pacific, | will take any and all necessary and appropriate action, Nothing contained herein shall be considered a waiver of any of mine or R&O’s rights and remedies, all of which are expressly reserved.

Thank you for your representation that you have “ceased all central processing involving R&O’s NPI number.” | trust that it will not happen again. My concerns are far from allayed, however, as | have now reviewed the materials that you provided to me on Friday and they raise far more questions than they answer. First, after reviewing the transactional documents concerning R&O’s sale, | am perplexed as to why Philidor responding to my concerns instead of Eric Rice, who executed the purchase & sale agreement on Isolanis behaif. Does Philidor have any financial or beneficial interest in Isolani? What understanding, if any, is there between Philidor and Isolani relative to R&O? What financial or beneficial interest do you believe Philidor has in R&O? a Please provide me with the answers to these questions, and send me copies of any and all correspondence / written agreements between 1) Philidor and Isolani, and 2) Philidor and R&O. Second, | just learned that Eric Rice recently signed off on an Argus-Humana audit, the same audit I refused to sign due to a lack of information. Eric Rice is not the PIC (I am ) and has never even stepped through R&O’s doors. | am not sure how he could verify the accuracy of anything pertaining to that audit. Did Philidor supply Mr. Rice with any documents to assist him with the audit? Ifo, what were they and please provide me with copies. Third, the files attached to your email included what appear to be Incomplete California State Board of Pharmacy permit application documents. Yet, you did not provide me with any response from the Board confirming receipt, or subsequent documents from the Board reflecting any action it may have taken. Has Philidor received any such communications from the Board? If so, please provide me with copies. Fourth, I see that Philidor is communicating with Herb Weinberg, Esq. regarding R&O. Does Mr. Weinberg represent Philidor, or Isolani? Fifth, after reviewing and reflecting upon the materials, you need to explain to me why | have been instructed to send checks from payers made out to R&O to Philidor. Finally, and of utmost importance, you still have not provided me with any documents or authority that would alithorize anyone else in the world to use my NCPDP number without my knowledge or consent to bill for prescriptions that were either: ._1. Filled by some other pharmacy that R&O has no ownership or beneficial interest in {in some cases for ,. dtugs that R&O did not even stock or dispense); or <2. were filled and billed before the execution of the R&O purchase and sale agreement.

Isolani did not threaten your client with litigation, but stated that “Isolani will seek all available legal remedies for any and all consequences of such defaults.” Pursuant to the Agreement, we believe these issues must first be adjudicated in mediation. Thus, your interpretation of my email was incorrect. Regarding the substance of your email, Isolani denies your allegations of wrongdoing.

The “operational issues / problems,” “consequences” and “risks” that Isolaniscomplains of below are 100% of Philidor/Valeant/Isolani’s making and pale in comparison to the potential civil, criminal and regulatory liability that Mr. Reitz has been exposed to by Isolani, Philidor, Valeant, Mr. Rige, Mr. Davenport and others, Your email does nothing to respond to our repeated accusations of wrongdoing, but instead appears to be a rather transparent attempt by Isolani to create @ false and misleading record As such, our response is simple: please be advised that all factual allegations contained in your email of ‘August 12, 2015 are hereby denied without need for further response. As you are well aware, we have grave concems regarding Isolani’s resin ® to Philidor and Valeant; Isolani/Philidor’s billing practices; the pressure that Isolani/Philidor have placed on Mr. Reitz to sign blatantly false audit responses; and other highly questionable conduct. We have asked repeatedly for legal support for Isolani/Philidor’s positions, yet we have been provided none. Your email represents yet another failure to provide that critical information, which further confirms that it does not exist. Moreover, your email addresses neither 1) Isolani’s material breaches of its agreements relative to R&O Pharmacy, as outlined in multiple correspondences from Mr. Retiz and our office over the past month; nor 2) the seemingly simple question of who your firm represents, ie. Isolani, Eric Rice, Andy Davenport, Philidor, others, etc. Given the above, coupled with Isolani’s threat of litigation, we interpret your email to be a refusal to participate in mediation, notwithstanding your email of Friday, August 7, wherein you stated “I'll get back to you early next week regarding the mediation.” It appears that litigation will now provide the methodology for us to finally get the answers we need from all appropriate parties under oath. Isolani, Erie Rice, Andy Davenport and Philidor may be able to mitigate the damage they have caused, and are continuing to cause, to Mr. Reitz’ reputation and business, by simply responding substantively in writing to our previous questions and requests. Please govern yourself accordingly.

Subject: R&O Pharmacy Gary, (On August 6, 2015, Isolani, LLC asked your client, Russell Reitz, to provide certain financial information regarding R&O's operations pursuant to the Management Services Agreement (“Agreement”) dated November 2014. Instead of providing that information as required under the Agreement, Reitz requested that all communications go through counsgl. This email is in response to Reitz’s request. Your lient’s course of conduct, ignoring his obligations under the Agreement and normal operating procedures, has created the following business issues that have led to operational failures of the pharmacy and are continuing to create Significant liabilities. Reite's current actions have, among other things, increased payor audit risk and risk of licensing termination, "i The following is a list of operational issues/problems your client has created that must be corrected immediately: Operational Issues Ignoring mail and invoice remittance procedures. No mail or invoices have been received from R&O for the last 4 weeks, in violation of agreed to operating procedures under the Agreement. No invoices have been received No checks have been received No payments have been deposited into any company bank accounts b. Other communications concerning the pharmacy’s operation have also been withheld. In addition, there has been limited communications received concerning all other aspects of the business including licensing, audits, notices and Board communications. 2. Impacts or Consequences if Not Corrected a. Reitz’s course of conduct creates significant jeopardy to the pharmacy which includes the following: i. No vendors or manufacturers have been paid, unless paid directly by Isolani from the remaining limited funds in the company’s dedicated account. Payments are due and owing and must be paid from the proceeds of the checks that your client has purposefully withheld, currently estimated to be in excess of $6 milion. Inventory depletion. The manufacturer has not shipped product in the last three weeks as bi-weekly payments for product due from the pharmacy have not been made. ‘Audit isk. Depletion of inventory subjects the pharmacy to regulatory and payor risk Cash flow. The significant amount of receivables that your client hhas purposefully withheld have created an ongoing cash flow issue. Reitz’s failure to deposit checks will cause payors to stop payments on, and eventually void, the checks as they age, creating significant ongoing cash flow issues due to delays in the ability to get checks reissued. b. Financial Statement Risk Your client's actions of withholding checks, communications and other information jeopardizes the ongoing account and documentation of the financials for the business, including estimates needed to be used for the month ending July 2015. This is due to the above information not being provided by Reitz, including A/R balances, A/P balances and a statement of the pharmacy’s cash position. In order to continue to operate the pharmacy, all of these matters must be addressed immediately by your client. The Isolani d/b/a/ R&O Pharmacy account, which has been used by the pharmacy in the ordinary course of business to receive payments, pay payables and fund payroll, among other things, has not received payments for over 4 weeks as a result of your client’s improperly withholding funds. There are dwindling funds in the Isolani d/b/a/ R&O Pharmacy accolint due to Reitz’s intentional withholding of earned company funds. Isolani is in jeopardy of defaulting on its obligations to meet the financial operational needs of the business as a result of your client's unauthorized condiitt. Please let me know how your client will proceed by close of business tomorrow. If the above issues are not corrected, Isolani will seek all available legal remedies for any and all consequences of such defaults. Best Regards, Jason., Jasoi'M.
