ADDENDUM 1 TO ANNEX B TO COMMUNITY PHARMACY AND MAIL BUSINESS PURCHASE AGREEMENT
2. No intercompany transfers will be done after May 1st, 2012, unless it is an approved exception. Approval by either Meen Kang or Xxx Xxxx.
3. All locations should make every effort to minimize split orders and partial (“IOU”) dispenses in the three weeks period prior to 5/4/2012. Any split orders or will need to be reversed before physical inventory begins.
4. Any reshipments required after physical count will be addressed with the reship policy agreed by BioScrip and WAG, which is documented in a separate document.
5. All locations should make every effort to minimize the amount of Will Call items as of the 5/4/2012 physical inventory date. For all Will Call items not picked up or delivered by the beginning of the physical inventory on 5/4/2012, the related claim will need to be reversed, and inventory returned to stock before the physical count begins.
6. Each Community pharmacy location will maintain a file of those items reversed for priority dispensing by Walgreens subsequent to closing.
7. Please note written company policy regarding the identification and disposition of excess/obsolete inventory (including product with expiration dates within 30 days for Community). Any such product noted such be isolated, excluded from the count and shipped to GENCO for credit. In order to minimize such items as of the 5/4/2012 physical inventory, each location will perform a thorough review of its inventory the week before the physical, and return such product, as appropriate to GENCO.
8. Physical inventory count will be determined by BioScrip employee(s). Inventory count sheets will include product name, package size (unit of measure), quantity, and actual count. WAG will hire RGIS, an outside inventory service, to conduct an inventory of all product. WAG representatives will review the BioScrip counts compared to the RGIS counts. WAG representatives will spot-check specific items to ensure counts are accurate. Any discrepancies will be reviewed with the BioScrip representative and the items in question will be counted together, so that a final count for each item can be agreed upon. Each count sheet will be signed off by both parties. Final detail inventory listing (ScriptMed report 3016, supplies excel spreadsheet, PfW final ICR inventory report) will be signed and approved by both parties before leaving the facility. One copy will be sent to BioScrip Finance (Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, who will also copy BioScrip Legal), and one copy will be sent to WAG.
9. The objective on 5/4/2012 is for BioScrip and WAG to validate inventory quantities on hand. Priced out inventory valuations, which include quantities and extended costs, will be delivered to WAG for review and approval within 30 calendar days of closing after being reviewed and verified for reasonableness by BioScrip’s Finance and Supply Chain departments.

11. Store closing information for 5/4/2012 is noted in a separate document.

If an item is not found on the list, the item will be added by the staff performing the count, and valuation will be determined by Supply Chain.
2. No intercompany transfers will be done after May 1st, 2012, unless it is an approved exception. Approval must be by Xxxx Xxxxxxx.
3. Split orders and Partial (“IOU”) dispenses – in order to minimize the workload related to split orders and partial dispenses as of Closing, Mail will stop doing any partial dispenses as of May 3, 2012. For split orders, the remaining items on the script will need to be transferred to Walgreens.For any remaining IOU dispenses as of the physical inventory date, the procedure will be to reverse claim and xxxx for only the product that was shipped. This needs to be done before the physical count begins. BioScrip will then reimburse WAG for the costs of shipments it makes subsequent to closing to satisfy the remaining quantities on IOU dispenses, under the same terms and conditions as negotiated between the parties for reshipments (reference is made to separate reship document for the related terms).
