2.22 Territorial Limitations on Scope of Licenses. The licenses granted under Sections 2.01 and 2.02 are granted solely under and with respect to United States patents and United States trademarks.

Accordingly, the reconstitution, radiolabeling, preparation, sale, transfer, delivery or supply by Licensee of any Sestamibi Unit Doses outside the United States is strictly prohibited.
2.23 Transfer of Vials. Notwithstanding Section 2.05, Licensee may, on an emergency basis or at LMI’s discretion in circumstances, where because of the location of Licensee’s customer, the delivery of Sestamibi Unit Doses is not commercially practical and consistent with Licensee’s past practice, transfer vials of Sestamibi Products to a customer (including vials that have been reconstituted or radiolabeled with technetium by Licensee). Licensee shall pay to LMI an amount equal to (a) ****% of Licensee’s aggregate revenue from such transfers of unreconstituted (cold) vials, less (b) the aggregate Vial Price paid hereunder with respect to such vials and plus (c) the product of (i) the number of reconstituted (multidose or hot) vial Unit Dose Equivalents transferred pursuant to this Section, multiplied by (ii) the Fee Per Dose, in each case as part of the additional license fee as provided in Section 2.09. LMI may, at any time by written notice to
Licensee, terminate Licensee’s right to transfer vials of Sestamibi Products pursuant to this Section.
2.24 Minimum Purchase Obligation. Licensee guarantees, subject to LMI’s ability to supply, a minimum purchase of Sestamibi Products as set forth in this Section.
(a) Licensee shall purchase from LMI at least the Minimum Quantity (as hereinafter defined) of Sestamibi Products. Compliance with such Minimum Quantity will be determined on ****, ****, and at the end of each **** thereafter (each a “Compliance Period”). In any Compliance Period in which Licensee does not purchase at least the applicable Minimum Quantity of Sestamibi Products from LMI, Licensee shall within twenty (20) days of the end of such Compliance Period (i) purchase the Shortfall Amount (as hereinafter defined) for such Sestamibi Products and (ii) in the event any such Shortfall Amount is greater than **** percent (****%) of such applicable Minimum Quantity, in addition to such purchase obligation, shall pay LMI an additional **** ($****) per dose for all doses in such Shortfall Amount. Within three (3) weeks prior to the end of any Compliance Period, Licensee shall (i) make a good faith estimate of additional amounts of **** Sestamibi Product and **** Product necessary for Licensee to purchase to be in compliance with the Minimum Quantity for such Compliance Period, and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to place purchase orders for such additional amounts.
“Minimum Quantity” means:
January 1, 2009 to **** |
|
****% of all Technetium99-based myocardial perfusion imaging doses sold by Licensee |
|
**** to **** |
|
****% of all Technetium99-based myocardial perfusion imaging doses sold by Licensee |
|
**** to **** |
|
****% of all Technetium99-based and thallium-based myocardial perfusion imaging doses sold by Licensee |
|
**** to **** |

****% of all Technetium99-based and thallium-based myocardial perfusion imaging doses sold by Licensee |
|
**** for the duration of this Agreement |

|
doses sold by Licensee |
|
provided that if the thallium-based myocardial perfusion imaging doses sold by Licensee exceed **** percent (****%) of all Technetium99-based and thallium-based myocardial perfusion imaging doses sold by Licensee during the applicable period, then such doses in excess of **** percent (****%) shall be excluded from the calculation of all Technetium99-based and thallium-based myocardial perfusion imaging doses for such period.
If LMI does not make available to Licensee a **** Product on or before ****, the Minimum Quantity shall be reduced to ****% for ****, ****% for **** and ****% for **** and the remaining duration of the Agreement.
“Shortfall Amount” means, with respect to an applicable Compliance Period, an amount of doses of Sestamibi Products for any remaining portion of the applicable Minimum Quantity not invoiced prior to the end of such Compliance Period. The Fee Per Dose for Sestamibi Products constituting a Shortfall Amount shall be the same as in effect during the Compliance Period to which the Shortfall Amount relates, and any purchases of doses of Sestamibi Products to satisfy the Shortfall Amount for such Compliance Period shall not count towards, and not be included in the calculation of, any Minimum Quantity for the next succeeding Compliance Period hereunder. In calculating the number of vials of Sestamibi Products doses to be purchased to satisfy the Shortfall Amount, doses per vial shall be calculated by reference to the most recently available Required Monthly Vial and Unit Dose Report by dividing line K thereon by line D thereon to determine the most recent vial utilization rate. Licensee shall specify to Supplier the destination for shipment of any excess vials purchased pursuant to this Section 2.24(a) otherwise in accordance with this Agreement.
(b) If, after giving effect to the purchase of additional doses as contemplated by Section 2.24(a) hereof, in the most recently completed Compliance Period, the **** Sestamibi Product doses purchased comprise less than the **** Product Percentage (as hereinafter defined) of the Minimum Quantity, Licensee will promptly pay to LMI an adjustment payment equal to: (i) the difference between the **** Sestamibi Product and the **** Product prices set forth on Exhibit B, multiplied by (ii) the difference between (a) the Minimum Quantity of doses multiplied by the **** Product Percentage and (b) the **** Sestamibi Product doses actually purchased.
“**** Product Percentage” means the following percentage of the Minimum Quantity of doses of Sestamibi Product purchased by Licensee hereunder:
July 1, 2009 to **** |
|
****% |

****% |
**** for the duration of this Agreement |
|
****% |
(c) For the final Compliance Period under this Agreement, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement as of the last day of such Compliance Period, the provisions of this Section 2.24 shall be deemed to survive such termination and be binding upon the Parties until such time as all Sestamibi Product has been purchased and payments made pursuant hereto for such Compliance Period.
2.25 Sole Supplier. Neither Licensee nor its Affiliates shall purchase, have manufactured, or otherwise acquire sestamibi from any third party during the term of this Agreement until Licensee sells its own generic sestamibi in the United States manufactured pursuant to an approved abbreviated new drug application owned by Licensee or one of its Affiliates (but not under an abbreviated new drug application of any third party). For the avoidance of doubt, the minimum purchase obligations described in Section 2.24 will remain applicable for the duration of this Agreement notwithstanding any such sale of its own generic Sestamibi by Licensee.
2.26 **** Pricing. LMI shall offer to Licensee **** net pricing for **** Product and **** Sestamibi Product offered by LMI or any of its Affiliates to any third party non-governmental customer of LMI (not including radiopharmacies owned by LMI or its Affiliates) in the United States on the terms and conditions set forth herein. LMI agrees to notify Licensee promptly upon entering into any contract with any such third party that would provide such third party with such **** net pricing. Upon the written request of Licensee at the end of any Quarter during the term of this Agreement, an authorized officer of LMI shall certify in writing to Company that LMI did not enter into any such contract during such Quarter. The term “net pricing” as used herein shall mean the totality of (a) the price for **** Product or **** Sestamibi Product, as applicable, and (b) all other economic terms and conditions relating to the purchase of such **** Product or **** Sestamibi Product, as applicable, including volume commitments, warranty terms, payment terms, indemnification, and specific credits, rebates, allowances, refunds, and discounts. Company may elect to have all prices and corresponding economic terms and conditions adjusted hereunder pursuant to the terms and conditions of such third party contract, in which case the Parties shall amend this Agreement to reflect the same.
2.27 Sales of Sestamibi Products to Others. LMI shall not sell quantities of (i) **** Products to any other radiopharmacy account prior to **** or (ii) any Sestamibi Products to a Competitor during the term of this Agreement.

If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (excluding the internal costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party), cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any third party claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest, including, without limitation, the making of any related counterclaim against the Person asserting the third party claim or any cross-complaint against such person.
(b) Notwithstanding the Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense of any third party claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such third party claim, and shall bear the costs and expenses of such separate counsel, if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such third party claim include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a legal defense available to it which is different from or additional to the defenses available to the Indemnifying Party in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such third party claim on behalf of the Indemnified Party), (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified party to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such third party claim or (iv) the Indemnifying Party authorizes the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the Indemnified Party’s cost and expense.

5.06 Compliance with Safe Harbors. It is the intent of the Parties for any financial relationship between the Parties under this Agreement to comply with any state and the federal anti-kickback statute (42 U.S.C. §1320a-7b(b)) and the federal “safe harbor” regulations regarding discounts, rebates, or other reductions in price (42 C.F.R.§1001.952(h)) (collectively, the “Anti-kickback Provisions”).

Should there be a reduction in price, then under the Anti-kickback Provisions, Licensee may have an obligation to report any such reduction in price, and must provide such information upon request, to any state or federal health care program or other government agency. Licensee represents and warrants that it will satisfy any and all requirements that may be imposed on Licensee by the Anti-kickback Provisions including, when required by law, to accurately report under any state or federal health care program the net cost actually paid by Licensee and to appropriately reflect such net costs if cost reporting such governmental program is applicable.
Licensee further represents and warrants that it will inform its customers of its customers’ obligations to properly report any reductions in price and will use reasonable efforts to assist its customers in properly reporting and appropriately reflecting the amount of any reductions in price in its customers’ claims for payment filed with any state or federal health care program.
5.07 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then the offending provision shall not render any other
provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, and all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be enforceable, unless the provisions which have been found to be invalid or unenforceable shall substantially affect the rights or obligations granted or undertaken by either Party.
5.08 No Partnership. Both Parties are independent contractors under this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement is to be construed so as to constitute LMI and Licensee as partners or agents with respect to this Agreement or to create a partnership or joint venture. Neither Party hereto shall have any right or authority to assume or create any obligations on behalf of, or in the name of, the other Party or to bind the other Party to any contract, agreement or undertaking with any third party.

5.10 Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to compliance with, or alleged breach, interpretation or validity of this Agreement, (each a “Dispute”) shall be exclusively resolved by binding arbitration, which arbitration may be commenced by sending a written notice to the other Party demanding arbitration of such Dispute (the “Demand”). In that event, the Dispute shall be finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with the United States Arbitration Act and the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The place of the arbitration shall be New York, New York. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language before a panel of three arbitrators. Each Party shall name one arbitrator, and the two so named shall name the third arbitrator, who will act as chairman. If the two party arbitrators cannot agree on a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the Demand, such third arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrators will promptly meet, fix the time, date and place of the hearing and notify the Parties. The arbitration shall be conducted within ninety (90) days after any Demand. All documents, exhibits, testimony or other
information that is not in the English language shall be translated into the English language at the expense of the Party proffering the evidence requiring translation. The decision of the arbitrators may (depending on the equities of the case) include an award of legal fees, costs of arbitration and interest. The panel of arbitrators will promptly transmit an executed copy of its decision to the Parties. The decision of the arbitrators will be final, binding and conclusive upon the Parties. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each Party retains the right to seek from a court any interim or provisional relief that may be necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party pending the establishment of the arbitrators’ determination of the merits of the controversy, and any such action shall not be deemed incompatible with this Agreement to arbitrate or a waiver of the right to arbitration. The obligations of the Parties under this Section are specifically enforceable and will survive any termination of this Agreement. Unless the decision of the arbitrators provides otherwise, the Parties shall bear their own costs in preparing for the arbitration and the costs of the arbitrators shall be equally divided between the Parties.
Each Party waives any right to claim special, indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive or exemplary damages against each other and in the event of a dispute, each shall be limited to recovery of actual damages.
5.11 Confidentiality. LMI acknowledges that the data concerning Licensee contained in the reports provided to LMI pursuant to Section 2.07 are confidential and proprietary to Licensee, and such data shall be considered Confidential Information of Licensee. Each Party acknowledges that the disclosure of the content of this Agreement (including the terms and conditions hereof and all pricing information related to the Sestamibi Products under this Agreement, including actual prices, price differentials between **** Product and **** Sestamibi Product, and the occurrence, timing or amount of any price reductions), would be detrimental to the other Party and that the content of this Agreement shall be considered Confidential Information of each Party. Each Party shall (i) maintain the Confidential Information of the other Party in confidence from and after the Effective Date until the seventh anniversary of the termination of this Agreement and (ii) use such Confidential Information solely for the purpose of performing its obligations or exercising its rights under this Agreement, promoting the growth of the Sestamibi business and marketing Sestamibi Products and for internal and administrative purposes. Each of the Parties covenants that (i) it shall not disclose any of the Confidential Information of the other Party except to its parent company or any of its parent company’s employees, agents, board of directors, or any other person under its authorization who are obligated to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information, and (ii) it shall establish and implement a commercialization plan within such Party’s respective organization that will indicate serious disciplinary action including and up to dismissal in the event that a representative makes an unauthorized disclosure. The foregoing confidentiality obligations shall not apply
to information that (i) is required to be disclosed by a court or tribunal, legal process, applicable law or the rules of any applicable stock exchange, in which case the Party obligated to make and disclose such information, shall promptly notify the other Party of such disclosure and the procedures, such as a protective order, instituted to protect the confidentiality of such information to be disclosed, (ii) is or hereafter becomes generally available to the public other than by reason of any default by a Party with respect to a confidentiality obligation or (iii) is disclosed to the recipient by a third party that is not in default of any confidentiality obligation to the disclosing Party. The Parties agree that should the foregoing confidentiality obligations be breached, money damages may be inadequate to remedy such a breach, and the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek, and a court of competent jurisdiction may grant, specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach or threatened breach. Such remedy shall be in addition to all other remedies, including money damages, available to a non-breaching Party at law or in equity.
5.12 Force Majeure. No Party shall be liable for any failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement or pursuant to any purchase order submitted pursuant to this Agreement by reason of Force Majeure.
