Question:

Juan owns 40 percent and Mario owns 60 percent of Crispy Donuts, Inc. (CDI). Juan wants to buy out Mario's interest in CDI, so he arranges a stock sale agreement under which CDI will redeem (purchase) all of Mario's shares for $900,000. This will then make Juan the sole shareholder of CDI. Juan wants to ensure that Mario does not open a competing donut business nearby so he also has a covenant-not-to-compete drawn up at the same time as the stock sale agreement. Under the terms of the covenant-not-to-compete, Mario cannot open another donut business within a 10-mile radius for a period of five years. During this 60-month period, CDI will pay Mario $9,000 per month in return for his agreement not to compete. CDI wants to know over what time period it should amortize the covenant-not-to-compete.
