Exhibit 10.113

Corporate Integrity Agreement
between the
Office of Inspector General
of the
Department of Health and Human Services
and
InterMune, Inc.

I. Preamble

InterMune, Inc. (InterMune) hereby enters into this Corporate Integrity Agreement (CIA) with the Office of Inspector General (OIG) of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to promote compliance with the statutes, regulations, and written directives of Medicare, Medicaid, and all other Federal health care programs (as defined in 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b(f)) (Federal health care program requirements) and the statutes, regulations and written directives of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA requirements). Contemporaneously with this CIA, InterMune is entering into a Settlement Agreement with the United States. InterMune will also enter into settlement agreements with various States, and InterMune’s agreement to this CIA is a condition precedent to those agreements.

Prior to the investigation of InterMune by the United States, InterMune established a comprehensive voluntary compliance program (Compliance Program), which includes a corporate Compliance Officer and Compliance’ Committee, a Code of Conduct for all employees, written policies and procedures, educational and training initiatives, review and disciplinary procedures, a confidential disclosure program, and internal review procedures designed, as represented by InterMune, to promote compliance with applicable laws and the promotion of high ethical standards.

InterMune shall continue the operation of the Compliance Program in accordance with the terms set forth below for the term of this CIA. InterMune may modify its Compliance Program as appropriate, but, at a minimum, InterMune shall ensure that during the term of this CIA, it shall comply with the integrity obligations enumerated in this CIA.

II. Term and Scope of the CIA

A. The period of the compliance obligations assumed by InterMune under this CIA shall be 5 years from the effective date of this CIA, unless otherwise specified. The effective date shall be the date on which the final signatory of this CIA executes this CIA (Effective Date). Each one-year period, beginning with the one-year period following the Effective Date, shall be referred to as a “Reporting Period.”

B. Sections VII, IX, X, and XI shall expire no later than 120 days after OIG’s receipt of: (1) InterMune’s final Annual Report; or (2) any additional materials submitted by InterMune pursuant to OIG’s request, whichever is later.

C. The scope of this CIA shall be governed by the following definitions:

1. “Covered Persons” includes:

a. all owners who are natural persons (other than shareholders who: (1) have an ownership interest of less than 5%; and (2) acquired the ownership interest through public trading), officers, directors, and employees of InterMune; and

b. all contractors, subcontractors, agents, and other persons who perform sales, marketing, promotional, pricing, government contract, and research and development activities (except preclinical researchers and clinical investigators) on behalf of InterMune.

Notwithstanding the above, this term does not include part-time or per diem employees, contractors, subcontractors, agents, and other persons who are not reasonably expected to work more than 160 hours per year, except that any such individuals shall become “Covered Persons” at the point when they work more than 160 hours during the calendar year.

2. “Relevant Covered Persons” includes all Covered Persons of InterMune whose job responsibilities relate to the provision of information about or services relating to InterMune’s products; distribution of Actimmune or other InterMune products; research and development (except preclinical researchers and clinical investigators); or the sales, marketing, or promotion of ‘InterMune’s products (hereafter collectively referred to as “Product Services Related Functions.”) This includes, but is not limited to, Medical Science Liaisons, and any individuals who work in the following areas: Clinical Affairs, Medical Affairs, Regulatory, Legal Affairs, Corporate Compliance, Corporate Administration, and Commercial Operations.¹

3. “Third Party Personnel” shall mean personnel of the entities with whom InterMune has or may, in the future, enter agreements to distribute and purchase its products, joint venture agreements and/or other agreements to co-market its products. InterMune has represented that: 1) Third Party Personnel are employed by other independent entities; 2) InterMune does not control Third Party Personnel; and 3) it would be commercially impracticable to compel the compliance of Third Party Personnel with the requirements set forth in this CIA. However, InterMune agrees to use its best efforts to promote compliance by Third Party Personnel with Federal health care program and FDA requirements as set forth below in Sections III.B and V.

4. An “Educational or Informational Activity” shall mean any continuing medical education (CME), disease awareness, or other scientific, educational or professional program, meeting, or event, including, but not limited to, sponsorship of booths or activities at medical conferences or symposia.


¹		If there are future changes in the organizational structure of InterMune, individuals who undertake the functions of the specific groups enumerated in the preceding sentence shall be considered Relevant Covered Persons.

If InterMune chooses to provide computer-based training, it shall make available appropriately qualified and knowledgeable staff or trainers to answer questions or provide additional information to the individuals receiving such training.

D. Review Procedures.

1. General Description.

a. Engagement of Independent Review Organization. Within 90 days after the Effective Date, InterMune shall engage an entity (or entities), such as an accounting, auditing, or consulting firm (hereinafter “Independent Review Organization” or “IRO”), to perform a Promotional and Product Services Engagement. Each IRO engaged by InterMune shall have expertise in Federal health care program and FDA requirements applicable to the Promotional and Product Services Engagement. Each IRO shall assess, along with InterMune, whether it can perform the IRO review in a professionally independent and/or objective fashion, as appropriate to the nature of the engagement, taking into account any other business relationships or other engagements that may exist. The applicable requirements relating to the IRO are outlined in Appendix A to this CIA, which is incorporated by reference.

b. Description and Frequency of Reviews. The Promotional and Product Services Engagement shall consist of two components — a systems review (the Promotional and Product Services Systems Review) and a transactions review (Promotional and Product Services Transactions Review), as described more fully in Appendix B to this CIA, which is incorporated by reference.

The Promotional and Product Services Transactions Review shall be performed annually and shall cover each of the Reporting Periods. The IRO(s) shall perform all components of each of these annual Reviews.

If there are no material changes in InterMune’s systems, processes, policies, and practices relating to Product Services Related Functions, the IRO shall perform the Promotional and Product Services Systems Review for two Reporting Periods to be selected by the OIG. As set forth in Appendix B, if InterMune materially changes its systems, processes, policies, and practices relating to Product Services Related Functions, then the IRO shall perform a Promotional and Product Services Systems Review for the Reporting Period(s) in which such changes were made in addition to conducting the Review for the two Reporting Periods selected by the OIG.

The OIG will select the Reporting Periods in which the Systems Reviews shall be conducted based, in part, on information provided by InterMune about the size of InterMune, the nature of the functions undertaken by InterMune employees e.g. sales and marketing activities, research activities, etc.), the number of products that InterMune is actively marketing, and other aspects of InterMune’s business. InterMune shall report such information to the OIG 90 days prior to the end of each Reporting Period. The OIG shall review the information submitted and shall notify InterMune at least 30 days prior to the end of each Reporting Period whether InterMune shall be required to retain an IRO to conduct a Systems Review in the next upcoming Reporting Period. The OIG will not require a Systems Review in the first Reporting Period.

c. Retention of Records. The IRO and InterMune shall retain and make available to OIG, upon request, all work papers, supporting documentation, correspondence, and draft reports (those exchanged between the IRO and InterMune) related to the reviews.

2. Review Reports. The IRO shall prepare a report based upon each Promotional and Product Services Transaction Review and Promotional and Product Services Systems Review performed. Information to be included in each Report is described in Appendix B.

3. Validation Review. In the event OIG has reason to believe that: (a) any of InterMune’s IRO Reviews fails to conform to the requirements of this CIA; or (b) the IRO’s findings or Review results are inaccurate, OIG may, at its sole discretion, conduct its own review to determine whether the Review in question complied with the requirements of the CIA and/or the findings or Review results are inaccurate (Validation Review). InterMune shall pay for the reasonable cost of any such review performed by OIG or any of its designated agents. Any Validation Review of Reports submitted as part of InterMune’s final Annual Report must be initiated no later than one year after InterMune’s final submission (as described in Section II) is received by OIG.

Prior to initiating a Validation Review, OIG shall notify InterMune of its intent to do so and provide a written explanation of why OIG believes such a review is necessary. To resolve any concerns raised by OIG, InterMune may request a meeting with OIG to: (a) discuss the

results of any Review submissions or findings; (b) present any additional information to clarify the results of the Review in question or to correct the inaccuracy of the Review; and/or (c) propose alternatives to the proposed Validation Review. InterMune agrees to provide any additional information as may be requested by OIG under this Section in an expedited manner. OIG will attempt in good faith to resolve any IRO Review issues with InterMune prior to conducting a Validation Review. However, the final determination as to whether or not to proceed with a Validation Review shall be made at the sole discretion of OIG.

4. Independence/Objectivity Certification. The IRO shall include in its report(s) to InterMune a certification or sworn affidavit that it has evaluated its professional independence and/or objectivity, as appropriate to the nature of the engagement, with regard to the applicable Review and that it has concluded that it is, in fact, independent and/or objective.

E. Disclosure Program.

Prior to the Effective Date, InterMune established a disclosure program designed to facilitate communications relating to compliance with Federal health care program and FDA requirements and with InterMune’s policies (Disclosure Program). During the term of this CIA, InterMune shall continue to maintain a Disclosure Program that includes a mechanism e.g., the toll-free Code of Conduct Ethics Helpline) to’ enable individuals to disclose, to the Compliance Officer or some other person who is not in the disclosing individual’s chain of command, any identified issues or questions associated with InterMune’s policies, conduct, practices, or procedures with respect to a Federal health care program or FDA requirement believed by the individual to be a potential violation of criminal, civil, or administrative law. InterMune shall appropriately publicize the existence of the disclosure mechanism (e.g., via periodic e-mails to employees or by posting the information in prominent common areas).

The Disclosure Program shall continue to emphasize a nonretribution, nonretaliation policy, and shall continue to include a reporting mechanism for anonymous communications for which appropriate confidentiality shall be maintained. Upon receipt of a disclosure, the Compliance Officer (or designee) shall gather all relevant information from the disclosing individual. The Compliance Officer (or designee) shall make a preliminary, good faith inquiry into the allegations set forth in every disclosure to ensure that he or she has obtained all of the information necessary to determine whether a further review should be conducted. For any disclosure that is sufficiently specific so that it reasonably: (1) permits a determination of the appropriateness of the alleged improper practice; and (2) provides an opportunity for taking corrective action, InterMune shall conduct an internal review of the allegations set forth in the disclosure and ensure that proper follow-up is conducted.

The Compliance Officer (or designee) shall continue to maintain a disclosure log, which shall include a record and summary of each disclosure received (whether anonymous or not), the status of the respective internal reviews, and any corrective action taken in response to the internal reviews. The disclosure log shall be made available to OIG upon request.

F. Ineligible Persons.

1. Definitions. For purposes of this CIA:

	a.		an “Ineligible Person” shall include an individual or entity who:

			i is currently excluded, debarred, suspended, or otherwise ineligible to participate in the Federal health care programs or in Federal procurement or nonprocurement programs; or

			ii has been convicted of a criminal offense that falls within the ambit of 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7(a), but has not yet been excluded, debarred, suspended, or otherwise declared ineligible.

	b.		“Exclusion Lists” include:

			i the HHS/OIG List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (available through the Internet at xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx); and

			ii the General Services Administration’s List of Parties Excluded from Federal Programs (available through the Internet at xxxx://xxx.xxxx.xxx).

c. “Screened Persons” include prospective and current owners (other than shareholders who: (1) have an ownership interest of less than 5%; and (2) acquired the ownership interest through public trading), officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents of InterMune.

2. Screening Requirements. InterMune has a policy to not hire or engage as a Covered Person any Ineligible Person, and it shall maintain that policy during the term of the CIA. InterMune shall continue to ensure that all Screened Persons are not Ineligible Persons, by implementing the following screening requirements.

a. InterMune shall screen all Screened Persons against the Exclusion Lists prior to engaging their services and, as part of the hiring or contracting process, shall require such Screened Persons to disclose whether they are Ineligible Persons.

b. InterMune shall screen all Screened Persons against the Exclusion Lists within 90 days after the Effective Date and on an annual basis thereafter.

c. InterMune shall implement a policy requiring all Screened Persons to disclose immediately any debarment, exclusion, suspension, or other event that makes that person an Ineligible Person.

Nothing in this Section affects the responsibility of (or liability for) InterMune to refrain (if applicable) from billing Federal health care programs for items or services furnished, ordered, or prescribed by an Ineligible Person. InterMune understands that items or services furnished by excluded persons are not payable by Federal health care programs and that InterMune may be liable for overpayments and/or criminal, civil and administrative sanctions for employing or

contracting with an excluded person regardless of whether InterMune meets the requirements of Section III.F.

3. Removal Requirement. If InterMune has actual notice that a Screened Person has become an Ineligible Person, InterMune shall remove such Screened Person from responsibility for, or involvement with, InterMune’s business operations related to the Federal health care programs and shall remove such Screened Person from any position for which the Screened Person’s compensation or the items or services furnished, ordered, or prescribed by the person are paid in whole or part, directly or indirectly, by Federal health care programs or otherwise with Federal funds at least until such time as the Screened Person is reinstated into participation in the Federal health care programs.

4. Pending Charges and Proposed Exclusions. If InterMune has actual notice that a Screened Person is charged with a criminal offense that falls within the ambit of 42 U.S.C. §§ 1320a-7(a), 1320a-7(b)(1)-(3), or is proposed for exclusion during the Screened Person’s employment or contract term, InterMune shall take all appropriate actions to ensure that the responsibilities of that Screened Person have not and shall not adversely affect the accuracy of any claims submitted to any Federal health care program.

G. Notification of Government Investigation or Legal Proceedings.

Within 30 days after discovery, InterMune shall notify OIG, in writing, of any ongoing investigation or legal proceeding known to InterMune conducted or brought by a governmental entity or its agents involving an allegation that InterMune has committed a crime or has engaged in fraudulent activities in the United States. This notification shall include a, description of the allegation, the identity of the investigating or prosecuting agency, and the status of such investigation or legal proceeding. InterMune shall also provide written notice to OIG within 30 days after the resolution of the matter, and shall provide OIG with a description of the findings and/or results of the investigation or, proceedings, if any.

H. Notification of Reportable Event.

1. Definition of Reportable Event. For purposes of this CIA; a “Reportable Event” means anything that involves a matter that a reasonable person would consider a probable violation of criminal, civil, or administrative laws applicable to any Federal health care program, and/or applicable to any FDA requirements relating to the, promotion of prescription drugs for which penalties or exclusion may be authorized. A Reportable Event may be the result of an isolated event or a series of occurrences.

2. Reporting of Reportable Events. Current policies of InterMune require reporting of violations of its current policies. If InterMune determines (after a reasonable opportunity to conduct an appropriate review or investigation of the allegations) through any means that there is a Reportable Event, InterMune shall notify OIG, in writing, within 30 days after making the determination that the Reportable Event exists. The report to OIG shall include the following information:

a. a complete description of the Reportable Event, including the relevant facts, persons involved, and legal and Federal health care program and/or FDA authorities implicated;

b. a description of InterMune’s actions taken to correct the Reportable Event; and

c. any further steps InterMune plans to take to address the Reportable Event and prevent it from recurring.

I. Notification of Communications with FDA.

Within 30 days after the date of any written report, correspondence, or communication from InterMune to the FDA that materially discusses InterMune’s or a Covered Person’s unlawful or improper promotion of InterMune’s products (including any improper dissemination of information about off-label indications), InterMune shall provide a copy of the report, correspondence, or communication to the OIG. InterMune shall also provide written notice to the OIG within 30 days after the resolution of any such disclosed off-label matter, and shall provide the OIG with a description of the findings and/or results of the matter, if any.

J. Review of Records Reflecting the Content of Detailing Sessions.

InterMune has represented that, as of the Effective Date, it does not currently have employees or agents engaged in the direct promotion of any product. If, in the future, InterMune reestablishes a sales force for the direct promotion of Actimmune or any other product, InterMune agrees to obtain non-InterMune records (e.g., Verbatims or similar records) generated by an independent entity (Survey Entity) reflecting the purported content and subject matter of detailing interactions between sales representatives and HCPs for up to three InterMune products. In order to satisfy its obligations under this Section III.J, InterMune may propose that it obtain an alternative type of survey record (e.g., message recall studies) rather than the records of the detailing sessions. The OIG will consider InterMune’s proposal, and, after considering InterMune’s proposal, shall, in its discretion, identify the type of survey records to be obtained.

Prior to the re-establishment of any sales force, InterMune shall notify the OIG of this development and provide specific information about the sales staff and InterMune’s products to the OIG.

VII. Oig Inspection, Audit, and Review Rights

In addition to any other rights OIG may have by statute, regulation, or contract, OIG, or its duly authorized representative(s) may examine or request copies of InterMune’s books, records, and other documents and supporting materials and/or conduct on-site reviews of any of InterMune’s locations for the purpose of verifying and evaluating: (a) InterMune’s compliance with the terms of this CIA; and (b) InterMune’s compliance with the requirements of the Federal health care programs in which it participates and with applicable FDA requirements.

IX. Disclosures

InterMune pursuant to its obligations under this CIA and identified upon submission by InterMune as trade secrets, or information that is commercial or financial and privileged or confidential, under the FOIA rules. With respect to such releases, InterMune shall have the rights set forth at 45 C.F.R. § 5.65(d).

X. Breach And Default Provisions

InterMune is expected to fully and timely comply with all of its CIA obligations. A breach of this CIA does not constitute a breach of the Settlement Agreement or the Deferred Prosecution Agreement between InterMune and the United States executed simultaneously herewith. Similarly, a breach of this CIA does not constitute a breach of the settlement agreements with individual States referenced in the preamble. Any breach of the terms of those agreements does not constitute a breach of this CIA, except to the extent that such a breach independently also constitutes a breach of this CIA. Section X of this CIA specifies all of the remedies available to the OIG if InterMune fails to satisfy its obligations under this CIA. The remedies available to the OIG under this Section X do not preempt or limit any actions that the United States or any individual States may take against InterMune under any separate appropriate authorities.

A. Stipulated Penalties for Failure to Comply with Certain Obligations. As a contractual remedy, InterMune and OIG hereby agree that failure to comply with certain obligations as set forth in this CIA may lead to the imposition of the following monetary penalties (hereinafter referred to as “Stipulated Penalties”) in accordance with the following provisions.

1. A Stipulated Penalty of $2,500 (which shall begin to accrue on the day after the date the obligation became due) for each day InterMune fails to establish and implement any of the following obligations as described in Section III:

a. a Compliance Officer;

b. a Compliance Committee;

c. a written Code of Conduct;

d. written Policies and Procedures;

e. the training of Covered Persons;

f. a Disclosure Program;

g. Ineligible Persons screening and removal requirements;

h. Notification of Government investigations or legal proceedings;

i. notification of communications regarding off-label related matters; and

j. a review of records reflecting the content of detailing sessions.

2. A Stipulated Penalty of $2,500 (which shall begin to accrue on the day after the date the obligation became due) for each day InterMune fails to engage an IRO, as required in Section III.D and Appendices A and B.

3. A Stipulated Penalty of $2,500 (which shall begin to accrue on the day after the date the obligation became due) for each day InterMune fails to submit the Implementation Report or the Annual Reports to OIG in accordance with the requirements of Section V by the deadlines for submission.

4. A Stipulated Penalty of $2,500 (which shall begin to accrue on the day after the date the obligation became due) for each day InterMune fails to submit the annual Report associated with any of the Reviews in accordance with the requirements of Section III.D and Appendix B.

5. A Stipulated Penalty of $1,500 for each day InterMune fails to grant access to the information or documentation as required in Section VII. (This Stipulated Penalty shall begin to accrue on the date InterMune fails to grant access.)

6. A Stipulated Penalty of $5,000 for each false certification submitted by or on behalf of InterMune as part of its Implementation Report, Annual Report, additional documentation to a report (as requested by the OIG), or otherwise required by this CIA.

7. A Stipulated Penalty of $1,000 for each day InterMune fails to comply fully and adequately with any obligation of this CIA. OIG shall provide notice to InterMune, stating the specific grounds for its determination that InterMune has failed to comply fully and adequately with the CIA obligation(s) at issue and steps InterMune shall take to comply with the CIA. (This Stipulated Penalty shall begin to accrue 10 days after InterMune receives this notice from OIG of the failure to comply.) A Stipulated Penalty as described in this Subsection shall not be demanded for any violation for which OIG has sought a Stipulated Penalty under Subsections 1-6 of this Section.

B. Timely Written Requests for Extensions. InterMune may, in advance of the due date, submit a timely written request for an extension of time to perform any act or file any notification or report required by this CIA. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section, if OIG grants the timely written request with respect to an act, notification, or report, Stipulated Penalties for failure to perform the act or file the notification or report shall not begin to accrue until one day after InterMune fails to meet the revised deadline set by OIG. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section, if OIG denies such a timely written request, Stipulated Penalties for failure to perform the act or file the notification or report shall not begin to accrue until three business days after InterMune receives OIG’s written denial of such request or the original due date, whichever is later. A “timely written request’ ‘is defined as a request in writing received by OIG at least five business days prior to the date by which any act is due to be performed or any notification or report is due to be filed.

C. Payment of Stipulated Penalties.

1. Demand Letter. Upon a finding that InterMune has failed to comply with any of the obligations described in Section X.A and after determining that Stipulated Penalties are appropriate, OIG shall notify InterMune of: (a) InterMune’s failure to comply; and (b) OIG’s exercise of its contractual right to demand payment of the Stipulated Penalties (this notification is referred to as the “Demand Letter”).

2. Response to Demand Letter. Within 10 days after the receipt of the Demand Letter, InterMune shall either: (a) cure the breach to OIG’s satisfaction and pay the applicable Stipulated Penalties; or (b) request a hearing before an HHS administrative law judge (ALJ) to dispute OIG’s determination of noncompliance, pursuant to the agreed upon provisions set forth below in Section X.E. In the event InterMune elects to request an ALJ hearing, the Stipulated Penalties shall continue to accrue until InterMune cures, to OIG’s satisfaction, the alleged breach in dispute. Failure to respond to the Demand Letter in one of these two manners within the allowed time period shall be considered a material breach of this CIA and shall be grounds for exclusion under Section X.D.

3. Form of Payment. Payment of the Stipulated Penalties shall be made by certified or cashier’s check, payable to: “Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services,” and submitted to OIG at the address set forth in Section VI.

4. Independence from Material Breach Determination. Except as set forth in Section X.D.1.c, these provisions for payment of Stipulated Penalties shall not affect or otherwise set a standard for OIG’s decision that InterMune has materially breached this CIA, which decision shall be made at OIG’s discretion and shall be governed by the provisions in Section XD, below.

D. Exclusion for Material Breach of this CIA.

1. Definition of Material Breach. A material breach of this CIA means:

a. a failure by InterMune to report a Reportable Event, and take corrective action, as required in Section III.H;

b. a repeated or flagrant violation of the obligations under this CIA, including, but not limited to, the obligations addressed in Section X.A;

c. a failure to respond to a Demand Letter concerning the payment of Stipulated Penalties in accordance with Section X.C; or

d. a failure to engage and use an IRO in accordance with Section III.D and Appendices A-B.

2. Notice of Material Breach and Intent to Exclude. The parties agree that a material breach of this CIA by InterMune constitutes an independent basis for InterMune’s exclusion from participation in the Federal health care programs. Upon a determination by OIG that InterMune has materially breached this CIA and that exclusion is the appropriate remedy, OIG shall notify InterMune of: (a) InterMune’s material breach; and (b) OIG’s intent to exercise

its contractual right to impose exclusion (this notification is hereinafter referred to as the “Notice of Material Breach and Intent to Exclude”).

3. Opportunity to Cure. InterMune shall have 30 days from the date of receipt of the Notice of Material Breach and Intent to Exclude to demonstrate to OIG’s satisfaction that:

a. InterMune is in compliance with the obligations of the CIA cited by OIG as being the basis for the material breach;

b. the alleged material breach has been cured; or

c. the alleged material breach cannot be cured within the 30-day period, but that: (i) InterMune has begun to take action to cure the material breach; (ii) InterMune is pursuing such action with due diligence; and (iii) InterMune has provided to OIG a reasonable timetable for curing the material breach.

4. Exclusion Letter. If, at the conclusion of the 30-day period, InterMune fails to satisfy the requirements of Section X.D.3, OIG may exclude InterMune from participation in the Federal health care programs. OIG shall notify InterMune in writing of its determination to exclude InterMune (this letter shall be referred to hereinafter as the “Exclusion Letter”). Subject to the Dispute Resolution provisions in Section X.E, below, the exclusion shall go into effect 30 days after the date of InterMune’s receipt of the Exclusion Letter. The exclusion shall have national effect and shall also apply to all other Federal procurement and nonprocurement programs. Reinstatement to program participation is not automatic. After the end of the period of exclusion, InterMune may apply for reinstatement by submitting a written request for reinstatement in accordance with the provisions at 42 C.F.R. §§ 1001.3001-.3004.

E. Dispute Resolution

1. Review Rights. Upon OIG’s delivery to InterMune of its Demand Letter or of its Exclusion Letter, and as an agreed-upon contractual remedy for the resolution of disputes arising under this CIA, InterMune shall be afforded certain review rights comparable to the ones that are provided in 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7(f) and 42 C.F.R. Part 1005 as if they applied to the Stipulated Penalties or exclusion sought pursuant to this CIA. Specifically, OIG’s determination to demand payment of Stipulated Penalties or to seek exclusion shall be subject to review by an HHS ALJ and, in the event of an appeal, the HHS Departmental Appeals Board (DAB), in a manner consistent with the provisions in 42 C.F.R. § 1005.2-1005.21. Notwithstanding the language in 42 C.F.R. § 1005.2(c), the request for a hearing involving Stipulated Penalties shall be made within 10 days after receipt of the Demand Letter and the request for a hearing involving exclusion shall be made within 25 days after receipt of the Exclusion Letter.

2. Stipulated Penalties Review. Notwithstanding any provision of Title 42 of the United States Code or Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations, the only issues in a proceeding for Stipulated Penalties under this CIA shall be: (a) whether InterMune was in full and timely compliance with the obligations of this CIA for which OIG demands payment; and

(b) the period of noncompliance. InterMune shall have the burden of proving its full and timely compliance and the steps taken to cure the noncompliance, if any. OIG shall not have the right to appeal to the DAB an adverse ALJ decision related to Stipulated Penalties. If the ALJ agrees with OIG with regard to a finding of a breach of this CIA and orders InterMune to pay Stipulated Penalties, such Stipulated Penalties shall become due and payable 20 days after the ALJ issues such a decision unless InterMune requests review of the ALJ decision by the DAB. If the ALJ decision is properly appealed to the DAB and the DAB upholds the determination of OIG, the Stipulated Penalties shall become due and payable 20 days after the DAB issues its decision.

3. Exclusion Review. Notwithstanding any provision of Title 42 of the United States Code or Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations, the only issues in a proceeding for exclusion based on a material breach of this CIA shall be:

a. whether InterMune was in material breach of this CIA;

b. whether such breach was continuing on the date of the Exclusion Letter; and

c. whether the alleged material breach could not have been cured within the 30-day period, but that: (i) InterMune had begun to take action to cure the material breach within that period; (ii) InterMune has pursued and is pursuing such’ action with due diligence; and (iii) InterMune provided to OIG within that period a reasonable timetable for curing the material breach and InterMune has followed the timetable.

For purposes of the exclusion herein, exclusion shall take effect only after an ALJ decision favorable to OIG, or, if the ALJ rules for InterMune, only after a DAB decision in favor of OIG. InterMune’s election of its contractual right to appeal to the DAB shall not abrogate OIG’s authority to exclude InterMune upon the issuance of an ALJ’s decision in favor of OIG.

If the ALJ sustains the determination of OIG and determines that exclusion is authorized, such exclusion shall take effect 20 days after the ALJ issues such a decision, notwithstanding that InterMune may request review of the ALJ decision by the DAB. If the DAB finds in favor of OIG after an AU decision adverse to OIG, the exclusion shall take effect 20 days after the DAB decision. InterMune shall waive its right to any notice of such an exclusion if a decision upholding the exclusion is rendered by the ALJ or DAB. If the DAB finds in favor of InterMune, InterMune shall be reinstated effective on the date of the original exclusion.

4. Finality of Decision. The review by an ALJ or DAB provided for above shall not be considered to be an appeal right arising under any statutes or regulations. Consequently, the parties to this CIA agree that the DAB’s decision (or the ALJ’s decision if not appealed) shall be considered final for all purposes under this CIA.

XI. Effective and Binding Agreement

Consistent with the provisions in the Settlement Agreement pursuant to which this CIA is entered, InterMune and OIG agree as follows:

A. This CIA shall be binding on the successors, assigns, and transferees of InterMune;

B. This CIA shall become final and binding on the date the final signature is obtained on the CIA;

C. Any modifications to this CIA shall be made with the prior written consent of the parties to this CIA;

D. The undersigned InterMune signatories represent and warrant that they are authorized to execute this CIA. The undersigned OIG signatory represents that he is signing this CIA in his official capacity and that he is authorized to execute this CIA.

To resolve any concerns raised by OIG, InterMune may request a meeting with OIG to discuss any aspect of the IRO’s qualifications, independence or performance of its responsibilities and to present additional information regarding these matters. InterMune shall provide any additional information as may be requested by OIG under this Paragraph in an expedited manner. OIG will attempt in good faith to resolve any differences regarding the IRO with InterMune prior to requiring InterMune to terminate the IRO. However, the final determination as to whether or not to require InterMune to engage a new IRO shall be made at the sole discretion of XXX.

Promotional and Product Services Engagement

I. IRO Engagement, General Description

As specified more fully below, InterMune shall retain an Independent Review Organization(s) (IRO) to perform engagements to assist InterMune in assessing and evaluating its systems, processes, policies, and procedures related to sales, marketing, promotion, and product services activities (Promotional and Product Services Engagement). The Promotional and Product Services Engagement shall consist of two components — a systems review (the Promotional and Product Services Systems Review) and a transactions review (the Promotional and Product Services Transactions Review), as described more fully below. InterMune may engage, at its discretion, a single entity to perform both components of the Promotional and Product Services Engagement, provided that the entity has the necessary expertise and capabilities to perform both.

As set forth below and in the CIA, InterMune shall engage an IRO to conduct the Promotional and Product Services Transactions Review for each year of the CIA. If there are no material changes in InterMune’s systems, processes, policies, and practices relating to Product Services Related Functions, the IRO shall perform the Promotional and Product Services Systems Review for two Reporting Periods to be selected by the OIG. The OIG will not require a Systems Review in the first Reporting Period.

If InterMune materially changes its systems, processes, policies, and practices relating to Product Services Related Functions, then the IRO shall perform a Promotional and Product Services Systems Review for the Reporting Period(s) in which such changes were made in addition to conducting the Review for the two Reporting Periods selected by the OIG. The additional Systems Review(s) shall consist of: 1) an identification of the material changes; 2) an assessment of whether other systems, processes, policies, and practices previously reported did not materially change; and 3) a review of the systems, processes, policies, and practices that materially changed.

III. Promotional and Product Services Transactions Review

The IRO shall conduct a Promotional and Product Services Transactions Review for each of the Reporting Periods. As described below, the Transactions Review shall include reviews of a sample of Inquiries reflected in the Medical Affairs Inquiries Database.

A. Promotional and Product Services Transactions Review

1. Review of Inquiries Made to Medical Affairs Group

InterMune has in place a policy addressing the discussion and dissemination of information about non-FDA approved uses of products (off-label information). This policy provides, among other things, that Covered Persons may not directly or indirectly solicit, encourage, or promote unapproved uses of a product to HCPs. InterMune also has established a Medical Affairs unit to respond to requests for information about off label uses of InterMune products.

a) Information To Be Included in Medical Affairs Inquiries Database

InterMune shall document and record all inquiries that Medical Affairs receives from HCPs regarding Actimmune or other InterMune products in a database (Medical Affairs Inquiries Database). Medical Affairs shall record in the Medical Affairs Inquiries Database the following information about each unique inquiry (Inquiry) received for information about InterMune’s products: 1) date of inquiry; 2) form of inquiry (e.g., fax, phone, etc.); 3) name of requesting HCP; 4) nature and topic of request (including exact language of the inquiry if made in writing); 5) an evaluation of whether the inquiry relates to information about an off-label indication for the product; 6) nature/form of the response from InterMune (including a record of the materials provided to the HCP in response to the request); 7) the name of the InterMune representative who called on or interacted with the HCP; and 8) the status and findings of any follow-up review conducted by InterMune in situations in which improper off-label promotion is suspected.

b) Internal Review of Medical Affairs Inquiries Database

On a semi-annual basis, the Compliance Officer or other appropriate personnel shall review the Medical Affairs Inquiries Database and related information, as appropriate, and shall generate a report summarizing the items of information outlined in Section III.A.1.a above for each Inquiry handled by Medical Affairs during the preceding two, quarters (the Medical Affairs Inquiry Report). On a semi-annual basis, the Compliance Officer shall review the Medical Affairs Inquiry Reports to assess whether the information contained in the report suggests that improper-off—label promotion may have occurred in connection with any Inquiry(ies). If the Compliance Officer, in consultation with other appropriate InterMune personnel, suspects that

improper off-label promotion may have occurred in connection with one or more Inquiries, the Compliance Officer shall undertake a follow-up review of the Inquiry (Off-Label Review), make findings based on his/her Off-Label Review, and take any responsive action (including disciplinary action) deemed necessary and appropriate.

c) IRO Review

As part of the Promotional and Product Services Transactions Review, the IRO shall evaluate InterMune’s processes relating to its Medical Affairs Inquiries Database. Specifically, the IRO shall select a random sample of 50 Inquiries from among the Inquiries reflected in the Medical Affairs Inquiries Database for each Reporting Period. One half of the Inquiries reviewed by the IRO shall be Inquiries for which InterMune conducted an Off-Label Review, and the other half shall be Inquiries for which InterMune did not conduct an Off-Label Review.

For each Inquiry reviewed, the IRO shall determine:

(i) whether each item of information listed above in Section III.A.1.a is reflected in the Medical Affairs Inquiries Database for each reviewed Inquiry; and

(ii) for each Inquiry for which the Compliance Officer conducted an Off Label Review, the basis for suspecting that improper off-label promotion may have occurred; the steps undertaken as part of the Off-Label Review; the findings of the Compliance Officer as a result of the Off-Label Review; and any follow-up actions taken by InterMune based on the Compliance Officer’s findings.

B. Promotional and Product Services Transactions Review Report

For each Reporting Period, the IRO shall prepare a Report based on its Promotional and Product Services Transactions Review. Each Report shall include the following:

1. Elements to Be Included:

2. Results to Be Included:

The following results shall be included in each Promotional and Product Services Transactions Review Report:

a. a description of each type of sample unit reviewed, including the number of each type of sample reviewed (i, e., the number of Inquiries) and an identification of the types of documents and information reviewed for the Inquiries;

b. for each Inquiry sample unit, the IRO shall summarize the information contained in the Medical Affairs Inquiry Database about the Inquiry;

c. for each Inquiry sample unit, the IRO shall state its findings and supporting rationale, as to whether: (i) each item of information listed in Section III.A.1.a is reflected in the Medical Affairs Inquiries Database for each reviewed Inquiry; and (ii) for each Inquiry for which the Compliance Officer conducted an Off-Label Review, the basis for suspecting that improper off-label promotion may have occurred; the steps undertaken as part of the Off-Label Review; the findings of the Compliance Officer as a result of the Off-Label Review; and any follow-up actions taken by InterMune as a result of the Compliance Officer’s findings;
