Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc. (“Medical Imaging”) is pleased to make the following Program for Technelite® Generators, Sestamibi Product, and Thallium available to all Members (each, a “Member”) of United Pharmacy Partners, Inc. (“UPPI”).  All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein will have the meanings set forth in Schedule A.  The terms of this notice are confidential and are subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section 5.11 of your Standard Cardiolite® Terms as in effect from time to time.

 

TechneLite® Generators

 

A.                 The initial pricing for TechneLite® Generators, effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, for the Month of January 2012 is set forth in Column A of the TechneLite® Pricing Grid attached hereto as Schedule B (the “TechneLite® Pricing Grid”).

 

B.                   Except as otherwise set forth herein, thereafter and for the balance of the Term, pricing for the then-current Month will be determined in accordance with the TechneLite® Pricing Grid based on the average number of curies per week purchased by Members in the then applicable Radiopharmaceutical Reference Month, as follows:

 

a.               if Members purchase a weekly average of **** curies of TechneLite®, as measured over the then applicable Radiopharmaceutical Reference Month, the pricing for TechneLite® Generators for the Month immediately following such Radiopharmaceutical Reference Month (the “then-current Month”) shall be as set forth in Column A of the TechneLite® Pricing Grid;

 

b.              if Members purchase a weekly average of **** curies of TechneLite®, as measured over the then applicable Radiopharmaceutical Reference Month, the pricing for TechneLite® Generators for the then-current Month shall be as set forth in Column B of the TechneLite® Pricing Grid; and

 

c.               if Members purchase a weekly average of more than **** curies of TechneLite®, as measured over the then applicable Radiopharmaceutical Reference Month, the pricing for TechneLite® Generators for the then-current Month shall be as set forth in Column C of the TechneLite® Pricing Grid.

 

C.                   Medical Imaging shall have the right to increase pricing set forth in the TechneLite® Pricing Grid on ****, provided that such increases will be limited to no more than **** percent (****%).  In addition, if Members purchase less than a weekly average of **** curies of TechneLite®, as measured over the then applicable Radiopharmaceutical Reference Month, Medical Imaging shall have the right to increase pricing for **** for the then-current Month to the then-effective supply pricing for **** (the “Current Supply Pricing”).  The Current

Supply Pricing for January 2012 is attached hereto as Schedule C.  Medical Imaging reserves the right to change such pricing upon **** (****) days prior written notice.

 

D.                  In calculating the monthly purchases of TechneLite® Generators, Medical Imaging will take into consideration the total number of curies purchased plus the number of Technelite® Generator Unshipped Curies, provided, however, that curies of TechneLite® purchased from Medical Imaging during an industry shortfall or supply shortage which are incrementally greater than UPPI’s run rate during the last Radiopharmaceutical Reference Month in a period of normal supply conditions shall not be measured for purposes of determining the price reductions set forth herein.

 

II  Sestamibi Product

 

A.                 Members will purchase a minimum aggregate amount of **** of Sestamibi Product during each Quarter (the “Sestamibi Quarterly Minimum”) commencing **** and at all times thereafter.  For purposes of clarity, the Parties acknowledge that all of the purchases of Sestamibi Product by UPPI’s Members from Medical Imaging in the applicable Radiopharmaceutical Reference Quarter will be included in the calculation to determine if the Sestamibi Quarterly Minimum has been achieved regardless of whether such purchases of Sestamibi Product are made as spot or standing orders.

 

B.                   Pricing for Sestamibi Product effective as of **** will be as follows:

 

a.               **** will be $****; and

 

b.              **** will be $****.

 

C.                   If Members fail to purchase the Sestamibi Quarterly Minimum in the Radiopharmaceutical Reference Quarter, in addition to any other remedy it may have, Medical Imaging shall have the right to change each Member’s **** pricing for the Quarter immediately following such Radiopharmaceutical Reference Quarter (the “then-current Quarter”) to the **** for ****, effective as of the first day of the then-current Quarter, regardless of UPPI’s then-current **** volume, unless UPPI purchases the shortfall in the Sestamibi Quarterly Minimum no later than **** (****) days after the Radiopharmaceutical Reference Quarter.

 

III  Thallium

 

A.                 Commencing as of ****, Members will pay a price for Thallium of $**** per millicurie.

IV  Combo Pack Pricing for Standing Orders

 

A.                 Notwithstanding the pricing described in Articles I and II of this Exhibit 1, each Member and Member Radiopharmacy Family (on behalf of each Member within such Member Radiopharmacy Family) that places a **** standing order for TechneLite® Generators on **** of each week, together with a **** standing order of at least **** (****) **** of Sestamibi Product, for a period of at least **** (****) **** shall be entitled to the following pricing for such standing orders:

A.                 The terms of the existing Exhibit I of the Standard Cardiolite® Terms are being modified as set forth herein.  All references to Exhibit I to the Standard Cardiolite® Terms will be understood to reference and incorporate the terms contained herein.  For purposes of clarity, the Parties acknowledge and agree that all related rebate or incentive programs offered by Medical Imaging to Members or between Medical Imaging and individual Members or Member Radiopharmacy Families are no longer applicable and have no further force and effect.

D.                  Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, Medical Imaging may increase the Technelite® Generator purchase prices to reflect any material change in costs of molybdenum.  A change in such costs is considered material if the increase in the cost of molybdenum over any **** (****) day period (a “Moly Cost Increase Period”) is more than **** percent (****%).  In the event of such a material increase, Medical Imaging shall be entitled to increase the Technelite® Generator purchase prices to reflect the incremental increase in such costs over **** percent (****%) starting as of when such costs are actually incurred by Medical Imaging, provided that Medical Imaging provides UPPI **** (****) days written notice and reasonable documentation supporting such change in costs.  Medical Imaging shall not implement the type of price increase detailed in this paragraph more than **** per calendar year.

 

E.                    Each Member hereby represents and warrants that it will properly store, use and dispose of all materials provided by Medical Imaging in accordance with any instructions set forth on the applicable product labels, the rules and regulations promulgated by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and all other applicable local, state and federal government regulations.

AE” means any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject, which results in any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered, related to the medicinal product.  All noxious and unintended responses to a medicinal product related to any dose should be considered adverse drug reactions.  Responses to a medicinal product means that a causal relationship between the product and AE is at least a reasonable possibility (i.e., the relationship cannot be ruled out or cannot be determined).  The failure of a Sestamibi Product to localize as expected shall not be deemed an adverse experience, whereas a significant failure of expected pharmacologic action would be considered an adverse event.

 

Product Quality Complaint” means an oral or written report, originating from an external or internal source, stating that a product marketed by Medical Imaging is not meeting the customer’s expectations in relation to identity, quality, effectiveness or performance of the product.

 

Serious AE” means any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose:  results in death; is life-threatening (defined as an event in which the subject or patient was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an event which hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe); requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalizations; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect; is an important medical event (defined as a medical event(s) that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization, but based upon appropriate medical and scientific judgment, may jeopardize the patient/subject or may require intervention, e.g., medical surgical, to prevent one of the other serious outcomes listed in the definition above).  Examples of such events include, but are not limited to, intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm; blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in hospitalization.  For reporting purposes, Medical Imaging also considers the occurrences of cancer, pregnancy, or overdose (accidental or intentional and regardless of adverse outcome) as events that must be expeditiously reported as important medical events.

Special Situation” means any outcomes of pregnancies of patients exposed to product, AE during breastfeeding, data on use of product in children, lack of efficacy (effect), transmission of an infectious disease with product, overdose, misuse, or abuse, medication errors or AE in compassionate use/named patient use.
