RXPEDITE

ACORDA MARKETING SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Marketing Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made effective as of September 19, 2003 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Cardinal Health PTS, Inc., a corporation with offices at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxx 00000 (“Cardinal Health”) and Acorda Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation having its principal place of business at 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (“Client”).

Background Information

A. Cardinal Health and its affiliates are engaged in the business of providing contract marketing, promotion, communication, sales and other related services to the pharmaceutical industry. Cardinal Health may perform such services directly or through one of its affiliates.

B. Cardinal Health 401, Inc. and inChord Communications, Inc. (“inChord”) have together developed the RxPedite Program, pursuant to which they are able to provide pharmaceutical drug manufacturers with comprehensive outsourced marketing communications, selling and distribution/manufacturing capabilities to facilitate and enhance the commercialization of clients’ pharmaceutical products.

C. Client is currently developing a product known as Fampridine SR, a therapy to improve neurological function in spinal cord injuries (the “Product”), and wishes to outsource certain commercialization services available under the RxPedite Program, as set forth in this Agreement.

Statement of Agreement

The parties hereby acknowledge the accuracy of the Background Information and agree as follows:

§1. Appointment/Exclusivity.

(a) Cardinal Health will provide medical education and sales force services to Client with respect to the Product as may be requested from time-to-time by Client and agreed to by Cardinal Health (collectively, the “Services”). Client hereby appoints Cardinal Health as the exclusive “Agency of Record” for medical education and sales force services relating to the Product and agrees that during the Term (as defined in Section 14(a)) it will not grant any other person or entity the right to provide medical education and sales force services relating to the Product anywhere in the United States; subject, however, to Section 1(b) below. In the event Client desires other commercialization services offered by Cardinal Health, such as drug development, manufacturing, storage, distribution, product return or recall, analytical or packaging services, the parties will negotiate the terms of such services in good faith.

(b) The parties acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Client may enter into one or more collaboration or partnership agreements or other similar arrangements with third parties during the Term with respect to the

development and commercialization of the Product (each, a “Partnering Agreement”). In any such event, Client will exercise all reasonable efforts to cause Cardinal Health to be selected as the vendor of choice for all or substantially all Services, with respect to the Product, to the extent that such Services are outsourced. If Cardinal Health is selected as the vendor for all or any portion of such Services, the parties will, if necessary, modify any then-current Workplans (as defined in Section 3(a)) including the Budgets therein, to reflect the modified Services as a result of such Partnering Agreement. If, despite the exercise by Client of all reasonable efforts to cause Cardinal Health to be selected as the vendor of choice, Cardinal Health is not selected to be the vendor of a substantial portion of the Services with respect to the Product in the United States as a result of the Partnering Agreement, then Cardinal Health will no longer be the Agency of Record for the Services relating to the Product, and either party may terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Sections 14(d) and 14(f).

§2. Services.

(a) Cardinal Health will, from time-to-time and/or upon request by Client during the Term, prepare and provide to Client, one or more proposed workplans (each, a “Proposed Workplan”) outlining the specific Services that Cardinal Health proposes to perform on Client’s behalf or that Client requests Cardinal Health to perform on its behalf. Such Services may include, but are not limited to: (i) recruiting and hiring specialty sales representatives appropriately qualified with the level of education and experience necessary for promoting the Product, (ii) training and maintaining specialty sales representatives for the Product, (iii) establishing a sales force of specialty sales representatives in the United States to promote the Product (the “Sales Force”), and (iv) providing medical education services.

(b) Each Proposed Workplan provided to Client pursuant to Section 2(a) will include, at a minimum, a detailed summary of the specific Services to be provided by Cardinal Health and Cardinal Health’s good faith estimate of the anticipated fees and costs (a “Budget”) associated with all projects (“Projects”) to be undertaken by Cardinal Health under such Proposed Workplan. Client may request additional information to be included in a Proposed Workplan and Cardinal Health will use all reasonable efforts to provide such additional information. Each Proposed Workplan will be submitted for Client’s approval under the procedures described in Section 3 below.

(c) Following approval by both parties of a Proposed Workplan for one or more Projects (as provided in Section 3(a)), Cardinal Health will, subject to Client’s direction and instruction or any amendment of the approved Workplan in accordance with Section 7, perform or coordinate the performance of those Services that are included in such Workplan. Cardinal Health will exercise all reasonable efforts to perform the Services on a timely basis and within the Budget, and Client will exercise all reasonable efforts to assist Cardinal Health in doing so by making available to Cardinal Health all information pertaining to the Product that is necessary for Cardinal Health’s performance of such Services and cooperating with Cardinal Health in expediting its review of all materials submitted by Cardinal Health for Client’s approval.

(d) Cardinal Health will perform the Services under this Agreement through various affiliates of Cardinal Health. During the Term, Cardinal Health agrees that the specific

Cardinal Health affiliates providing Services to Client under this Agreement will refrain from providing medical education and sales force services for any product that competes against the Product and has substantially the same indication as the Product, without first obtaining Client’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. For purposes of clarification, the foregoing restriction shall not restrict any Cardinal Health affiliate which is not providing Services to Client under this Agreement from providing medical education and sales force services to any other customer for products that compete against the Product.

§3. Client Approval.

(a) Each Proposed Workplan submitted to Client by Cardinal Health in Section 2 is subject to the review and written approval of Client prior to the time Cardinal Health or any of its affiliates incur liability to third parties in connection with the Projects contained in such Proposed Workplan. Once a Proposed Workplan is approved by both parties, such approved workplan shall be referred to as a “Workplan,” and it shall govern the performance for Client of the Services covered by such Workplan. For clarity, neither Cardinal Health nor its affiliates will perform any Services or incur any expenses with respect to such Services, and Client will not be obligated to pay for any Services, except in accordance with a Workplan that has been approved by Client.

(b) All drafts of any proposed journal advertisements, training materials, media copy, advertisements or other promotional material used to promote the Product (collectively, the “Promotional Material”) will be submitted to Client for review at least two (2) weeks prior to publication or use whenever practicable ; provided, however, that the arties understand and agree that such two (2) week period will necessarily be shortened from time to time to reflect special deadlines and circumstances not within the reasonable control of Cardinal Health. Client shall be solely responsible for reviewing and approving the content of all Promotional Material and related Services prior to use of such Promotional Material and performance of related Services to make certain that all content in such Promotional Material and any and all related Services comply with all federal, state and local laws and all applicable industry standards and practices generally applicable to Cardinal Health’s and Client’s industry, including, without limitation, any applicable research guidelines, ethics and standards established by the American Medical Association, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), the standards and guidelines outlined in the PhRMA Code, the standards and guidelines outlined in the Office of Inspector General (OIG) Guidance, and the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Laws”). Client hereby acknowledges that Cardinal Health shall not conduct a legal review of the content of the Promotional Materials and/or related Services and that Cardinal Health is relying solely on Client to make certain that the content of Promotional Material and related Services comply with all Laws. Cardinal Health will ensure that the content of the final copy of Promotional Material and related Services is identical to the draft content of such Promotional Material and related Services as approved by Client.

(c) Client will have the right to make any editorial changes it desires prior to publication or use, with any charge for such change to be consistent with the budget procedures outlined in Section 3(d) below; provided, however, that Client must notify Cardinal Health in writing of either its approval or disapproval and/or required editing of Promotional Material as

Certain portions of this Exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality.

Such omitted portions, which are marked with brackets [ ] and an asterisk *, have been separately filed with the Commission.

promptly as practicable, but in no event less than forty-eight (48) hours prior to the planned publication or use.

(d) The initial Budget for a specific Project included in a Workplan will necessarily include fee and cost estimates based upon initial concepts and preliminary estimates, and Cardinal Health will be authorized to commence work and incur expenses on that particular Project based upon Client’s approval of the Workplan containing such initial Budget and up to an amount not to exceed [* * *] of the fees and costs in such approved Budget. Cardinal Health will submit a revised Budget to Client at any time during performance of a Project if fees and costs for such Project are anticipated to exceed the initial Budget by more than [* * *], and this revised estimate must be approved by Client in writing before work on such Project continues. Once final concepts for a Project are approved and final fee and cost estimates can be obtained, Cardinal Health will submit a final Budget for Client’s written approval if the initial Budget needs to be increased by more than [* * *] as a result of such final cost estimates. Cardinal Health will use all reasonable efforts to complete the Services within the approved Budget. In the case where, despite such efforts, cost estimates to complete the Services exceed the initial Budget by more than [* * *], Cardinal Health agrees to negotiate with Client in good faith a revised Budget that is acceptable to both parties. In any event, Client’s written approval is required prior to any increase of the Budget for a Project by more than [* * *] from the initial Budget and for any further increases thereafter.

§4. Joint Commercialization Committee. Promptly following the Effective Date, a joint commercialization committee (the “Committee”) will be formed consisting of an equal number of representatives, such number to be mutually agreed by the parties, from each of Client, Cardinal Health, and inChord. Each party may replace any of its representatives at any time, and from time to time, by giving written notice to the other party. The Committee will be chaired by a Client representative, and the Committee will meet at such locations as reasonably determined by the chair to discuss and coordinate the overall marketing and sales strategy for the Product, relevant Workplans and Budgets therein associated with the Product, and any other relevant topics relating to the commercialization of the Product. The Committee will convene at least four (4) times annually or more frequently as the parties deem necessary and meetings may be held by audio or video teleconference, with the consent of each party; provided that at least one (1) meeting per calendar year shall be held in person. The parties agree that the purpose of the Committee is solely to provide a forum for the parties to discuss, monitor and coordinate activities and communications relating to the performance of the Services and provide recommendations relating thereto to the parties. The Committee does not have the authority to approve or modify Workplans or Budgets, or to amend this Agreement.

§5. Cardinal Health Compensation. In consideration for the Services that are rendered to Client under this Agreement, Cardinal Health will invoice Client and Client will pay Cardinal Health as follows:

(a) As compensation for performance by Cardinal Health and its affiliates of the Services, Client will pay a fee (the “Cardinal Health Fee”) for each Project as specified in the approved Budget for such Project. Such Cardinal Health Fee for the Services performed in a particular month will be determined as follows:

(i) Total fees for such Services shall be calculated based on the applicable Cardinal Health and its affiliates’ rates as set forth in the applicable Budget; and

(ii) Such total fees then shall be reduced by the amount (if any) of the pre-determined discount amount to which Client is entitled (any such discount, a “Discount Amount”), where such Discount Amount will be determined as described in the Discount Matrix attached as Exhibit A, and such discounted fees shall be the “Cardinal Health Fee” for such Project for such month.

(b) The Cardinal Health Fee for each Project will be invoiced to Client by Cardinal Health on a monthly basis promptly after the beginning of each month as specified in the approved Budget, and Client will pay each such invoice within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof. Each such invoice will specify with reasonable detail all the charges for Services, and the basis for any Discount Amount used in arriving at the Cardinal Health Fee.

(c) All Discount Amounts actually allowed will be aggregated and, if applicable, paid to Cardinal Health by Client in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in the Discount Payment Matrix attached as Exhibit B.

(d) Client will reimburse Cardinal Health for actual, verifiable costs incurred for obtaining from third parties any printing, photography, market research, selling aids, direct mail, reference material, color graphic reproductions, exhibit panels, honoraria, conference/meeting expenses and other products, services and supplies purchased by Cardinal Health on behalf of Client for a Project under this Agreement (“Client Reimbursable Expenses”) without Cardinal Health xxxx-up, provided, however, that the aggregate costs for such Client Reimbursable Expenses are included in the Budget of the relevant Workplan approved in advance by Client and is subject to the provisions of Section 3(d) with respect to any increase in such costs. Fifty percent (50%) of the estimated Client Reimbursable Expenses for each Workplan (as set forth in the applicable Budget) will be invoiced by Cardinal Health upon Client’s approval of the Workplan, and the balance of the Client Reimbursable Expenses will be invoiced on a monthly basis after such initial advance payment has been fully credited against actual costs incurred (as shown by invoices provided and credits shown), as such expenses are incurred by Cardinal Health, or as otherwise agreed to by the parties as specified in the Budget. Client will pay each such invoice within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof.

(e) Client will reimburse Cardinal Health for its reasonable, verifiable travel expenses (including, without limitation, transportation, lodging and meals), fax, photocopying, telephone, overnight or other delivery, postage, shipping and other expenses associated with the performance of Services under this Agreement (“Out-of-Pocket Expenses”), without any Cardinal Health xxxx-up. An estimate of the Out-of-Pocket Expenses for each Project shall be included in the Budget of the relevant Workplan approved in advance by Client and is subject to the provisions of Section 3(d) with respect to any increase in such expenses. Out-of-Pocket Expenses will be invoiced by Cardinal Health on a monthly basis, as incurred, and Client will pay each such invoice within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof.

(f) Sales, use and other taxes will be included in the Budget and reimbursed by Client in a similar manner to other expenses associated with each Project; provided, however,

that Cardinal Health will be responsible for all federal, state and local taxes imposed on Cardinal Health’s income or in connection with the employment of Cardinal Health’s full or part-time employees.

§6. Payment Terms. Cardinal Health will submit invoices to Client on a monthly basis or as otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. Payment terms will be net thirty (30) days from the date of the receipt, with interest accruing on any late payment at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month until paid. Cardinal Health will provide Client with appropriate supporting detail with each invoice to allocate expenses by Project and the specific activities undertaken in such Project. All payments due under Section 5 will be made payable to: the Cardinal Health entity named on the relevant invoice and mailed to the address set forth on such Cardinal Health invoice. Client and Cardinal Health will meet periodically to review projected fees and costs compared to actual fees and costs on all Projects, and appropriate adjustments will be made to Workplans as necessary from time to time to reflect mutually approved changes in the scope of the work to be performed.

§7. Amending Workplans. Subject to the terms of this Section 7, Client reserves the right to modify or cancel any previously approved Workplan. In such event, Cardinal Health will promptly take all reasonable steps necessary or appropriate to carry out Client’s instructions; provided, however, that Client will continue to be responsible for paying Cardinal Health for (a) all work performed and expenses incurred prior to Cardinal Health’s receipt of notification of such change, provided that such work and expenses were incurred by Cardinal Health on Client’s behalf in accordance with the relevant Workplan approved by Client, (b) all non-cancelable commitments incurred by Cardinal Health prior to its receipt of notification of such change, provided that such commitments were incurred by Cardinal Health on Client’s behalf in accordance with the relevant Workplan approved by Client, (c) all expenses incurred by Cardinal Health in carrying out Client’s revised instructions, and (d) any other cancellation or other similar fees specifically agreed to by the parties in a Workplan, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client may not modify or cancel Projects in a fashion that would be inconsistent with Agency’s role as the exclusive “Agency of Record” under Section 1.

§8. Ownership of Technology; Work Made For Hire. Client will maintain ownership and maintenance of the NDA, all clinical/scientific data and any other information related to the Product.

(a) Work Product. Cardinal Health agrees and acknowledges that, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in a Workplan, Client will own all right, title and interest in and to all ideas, artwork, illustrations, audiovisual works, audio recordings, images, photographs, video, graphics, multimedia works, on-line products, sounds, text, notes, sketches, drawings, reports, inventions and Promotional Material, whether patentable or copyrightable, or other copyrightable works conceived or created by Cardinal Health or Cardinal Health’s affiliates or third party subcontractors in the course of performing the Services pursuant to this Agreement and which are accepted and paid for by Client (collectively, the “Work Product”). Such Work Product will be deemed “works made for hire,” and in any event, Cardinal Health hereby assigns to Client, and shall cause its affiliates and subcontractors (as applicable) to assign to Client, all right, title and interest in and to such Work Product and all intellectual property rights related thereto. If Work Product is lost, damaged, or destroyed while in Cardinal Health’s custody or

control, Cardinal Health will be liable to Client for the replacement cost of such Work Product. Upon Client’s request at any time during the Term or thereafter, Cardinal Health will promptly transfer all Work Product to Client.

(b) Brand Features. Subject to retained third party rights disclosed to Client in advance in accordance with Section 9, all trademark(s), trade name(s), logo(s), slogan(s), and advertising plan(s) that are created by Cardinal Health and/or its affiliates for Client and which are accepted and paid for by Client under this Agreement (the “Brand Features”) will be the property of Client and regarded as “works made for hire.” Cardinal Health will not adopt, suggest or recommend the use of any Promotional Material or Brand Feature of which Cardinal Health knows, or in the exercise of reasonable diligence, should know, is identical to or confusingly similar to that being used by a third party. Cardinal Health hereby assigns to Client, and shall cause its affiliates and subcontractors (as applicable) to assign to Client, all of its rights, title and interest to such items, together with all of the goodwill associated therewith, subject only to reserved third party rights.

(c) Further Acts. Cardinal Health and its affiliates shall cooperate with Client or its designee(s), both during and after the Term, to execute such documents and take such other actions as Client deems necessary for Client to obtain ownership and to apply for, secure, and maintain copyright, trademark or other proprietary protection of Work Product and Brand Features in the United States and/or worldwide. Cardinal Health will not be responsible for initiating any such application, but will cooperate with Client as reasonably requested. Client will pay or reimburse Cardinal Health for any out-of-pocket expenses associated with such cooperation. If Client is unable for any reason to secure Cardinal Health’s signature to any document required to apply for or execute any copyright, trademark or other applications with respect to any Work Product or Brand Features, Cardinal Health hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Client and its duly authorized officers and agents as its agents and attorneys in fact to act for and on Cardinal Health’s behalf to execute and file any such application and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the issuance of copyrights, trademarks or other rights thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Cardinal Health.

(d) Cardinal Health Proprietary Material. Project tracking software, algorithms, and other intellectual property owned by Cardinal Health and/or one or more Cardinal Health affiliates and used by Client in connection with the Services (“Cardinal Health Proprietary Material”) will remain the sole property of Cardinal Health at all times. Cardinal Health shall, prior to the use of any Cardinal Health Proprietary Material in the course of providing the Services, notify Client of such use. Client agrees to discontinue the use and return to Cardinal Health all Cardinal Health Proprietary Material promptly following termination of this Agreement.

§9. Third Party Approvals.

(a) Cardinal Health will be responsible for obtaining appropriate consents, authorizations and approvals from third parties for use of approved Promotional Material prepared by Cardinal Health in connection with the Services; provided, however, that Client will maintain its own medical affairs personnel (including physicians and staff) to review and support the marketing and sales efforts (including Promotional Material) on behalf of the Product and

will be responsible for obtaining and providing all appropriate consents, authorizations and approvals in connection with materials provided to Cardinal Health for inclusion in the Promotional Materials and for scientific or medical papers or scientific consultation required in connection with the Promotional Material and the Services rendered by Cardinal Health. Client will have sole and exclusive authority for managing all regulatory affairs associated with the Product including, but not limited to: (i) all necessary government filings and approvals for the Product; (ii) adverse event reporting to the FDA; (iii) product recalls; (iv) all clinical development associated with the Product; and (v) communications with regulatory authorities. Client will promptly communicate to Cardinal Health all regulatory and other information relevant to Cardinal Health’s performance of Services in connection with the Product.

(b) Certain Promotional Material may contain the intellectual property of third parties that Cardinal Health has the right to use pursuant to a license granted to Cardinal Health (or its affiliates), or other arrangement between a third party and Cardinal Health (or its affiliates). Such license or other arrangement between a third party and Cardinal Health (or its affiliates) may permit Client to use such intellectual property only in connection with a specific Project or campaign, and would require additional payments for any different or extended use by Client. Cardinal Health will obtain approval from the relevant third party as required under the relevant license or arrangement for use of such third party intellectual property in specific Projects for Client. Cardinal Health will notify Client prior to use of any such third party intellectual property in a specific Project of any material conditions or limitations relating to such use, including but not limited to any conditions or limitations which, if breached, will obligate Client to pay additional fees or charges. Client will be solely responsible for any fees or other charges associated with its different or extended use of intellectual property so licensed from a third party in breach of the applicable conditions or limitations of such use; provided that Client will not be responsible for such fees or charges if Cardinal Health fails to notify Client in writing in advance of its use of any third party intellectual property and the conditions and limitations related thereto. Cardinal Health makes no representations with regard to use of Promotional Material outside of the United States; however, Cardinal Health will use all reasonable efforts to obtain such rights for Client if requested to do so.

§10. Right of First Negotiation.

(a) Product Related Compounds. If Client controls or materially influences decisions regarding Services and is not restricted by a Partnering Agreement, Client agrees during the Term that Cardinal Health will be designated as the Agency of Record and perform those Services required by Client with respect to future indications for the Product.

(b) Other Compounds. If Client controls or materially influences decisions regarding use of Services with respect to a molecule, compound or product described at the end of this Section 10(b) and is not restricted by a Partnering Agreement with respect to such molecule, compound or product, Client agrees during the Term to provide Cardinal Health with an exclusive right of negotiation for a period of sixty (60) days following delivery to Cardinal Health of a request for proposal and related background materials (“RFP”) to provide Services, provided that such Services are necessary and will be outsourced. The molecules, compounds or products that are subject of the foregoing rights are: (i) products resulting from Client’s other molecules or compounds in development, (ii) products resulting from molecules or compounds

which Client purchases, licenses or otherwise assumes rights from a third party, or (iii) any pharmaceutical human therapeutic product that Client purchases, licenses or otherwise assumes commercialization rights from a third party.

§11. Indemnification. Each party will indemnify the other as follows:

(a) Cardinal Health will indemnify, defend and hold Client and its officers, directors, agents, employees and affiliates (collectively, the “Client Group”) harmless from and against any liabilities, damages, losses or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, any of them may sustain or incur as a result of any claim, suit or proceeding (“Claim”) made, brought or threatened by third parties and based upon or resulting from (i) Cardinal Health’s or its affiliate’s negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement, including but not limited to, Cardinal Health’s breach of its representations and warranties under this Agreement or any Workplan and (ii) any Work Product or Brand Features that are alleged to constitute plagiarism, idea misappropriation, or that infringe third party intellectual property rights. Cardinal Health’s obligations under this section include all time charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any subpoena, discovery demand or other directive having the force of law or any governmental inquiry served upon Client that relates to Cardinal Health or its business. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply to a Claim to the extent that such Claim arises as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Client or any member of the Client Group or Client’s breach of this Agreement.

(b) Client will indemnify, defend and hold Cardinal Health and its officers, directors, agents, employees and affiliates (collectively, the Cardinal Health Group”) harmless from and against any Claim made, brought or threatened by third parties and based upon or resulting from (i) Client’s or its affiliates’ negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement including but not limited to, Client’s breach of its representations and warranties under this Agreement; (ii) any product liability or other Claim based upon the use or efficacy of any Product; (iii) the manufacture, sale, or distribution of the Product, (iv) content of Promotional Material that has been provided by Client or approved by Client in advance of publication; and (v) any use of Promotional Material by Client outside the scope of any third party license of which Cardinal Health has notified Client in accordance with Section 9(b).

§12. Confidential Information. Neither party will, during the Term and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, without the other party’s prior written consent, disclose to any third party any of the other party’s Confidential Information, except that either party may disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to its affiliates, inChord and inChord affiliates solely as necessary for their performance of the Services, provided that the party conveying the other party’s Confidential Information will inform each recipient of the confidential nature of such information and will use all reasonable efforts to cause each recipient to receive and hold such information in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each party will, during the Term and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, keep the other party’s Confidential Information secret and confidential, will use reasonable efforts to cause its affiliates, employees, representatives and agents to keep such Confidential Information secret and confidential, and will take reasonable precautions to prevent any use or disclosure of such Confidential Information except in the performance of the Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means information disclosed hereunder by, or on behalf of, Cardinal Health or Client to the other party, whether of a technical, business or other nature, including but not limited to non-public information which relates to Cardinal Health’s (including its affiliates) or Client’s trade secrets, product or service offerings, proprietary rights or business affairs.

(b) Exceptions to Confidential Information. Confidential Information does not include any information that, as evidenced by competent written proof: (i) was known to the receiving party prior to its disclosure by the disclosing party; (ii) is lawfully obtained by the receiving party from a third party, as a matter of right and without restriction on disclosure; (iii) is disclosed in public literature or becomes generally available to the public through no violation of this Agreement by the receiving party; or (iv) was independently developed or obtained by the receiving party without violation of this Agreement.

(c) Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may disclose Confidential Information of the other party to third parties to the extent such disclosure is required by order of a court, government agency or the like having competent jurisdiction; provided that, in the event such information is required to be disclosed pursuant to this Section 12(c), the party required to make such disclosure will promptly notify the other party prior to such disclosure, will disclose only what is reasonably necessary to comply with such order, and will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such other party to allow assertion of whatever exclusions, exemptions or confidential treatment that may be available to it under applicable law or regulation.

(d) It is understood and agreed that Cardinal Health may list Client as one of its RxPedite clients when furnishing proposals to other prospective clients or in client listings in trade publications and directories.

§13. Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable to the other for failure to perform when and as specified in this Agreement (exclusive of payment obligations) if such failure to perform is caused by war, fire, flood, strike, labor dispute, public disaster, accident, serious illness, act of God, act of terrorism, act of governmental authority (including rule or regulation),

or other similar contingencies (a “Force Majeure”) beyond the reasonable control of the non-performing party and which materially interferes with such party’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder. In the event of such a Force Majeure, the party so affected will be excused from performance hereunder for the period of time attributable to the Force Majeure; provided that such party uses and continues to use all reasonable efforts to overcome such Force Majeure.

Client will pay Cardinal Health for all work performed and expenses incurred prior to the effective date of termination of this Agreement and for all non-cancelable commitments incurred by Cardinal Health prior to such time. Any funds previously paid to Cardinal Health by Client

which are in excess of compensation and/or expenses to which Cardinal Health is entitled through the termination of this Agreement will be promptly returned to Client.

(f) Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 14(d), Client will pay to Cardinal Health the following amounts: (i) if such termination is effected by Client prior to Product launch or within six (6) months thereafter, then the sum of (1) the Aggregate Discount Amounts (as such term is defined in Exhibit A) actually given by Cardinal Health, and (2) a premium payment in the amount of [**] of the Aggregate Discount Amounts actually given by Cardinal Health and (ii) if such termination is effected by Client at any time more than six (6) months after the date of Product launch, then the sum of (1) the Aggregate Discount Amounts actually given by Cardinal Health and not already repaid in accordance with the Repayment Rate set forth in Exhibit B and (2) a premium payment in the amount of [***] of the Aggregate Discount Amounts actually given by Cardinal Health. Client will pay the total amount due under this Section 14(f) in four (4) equal quarterly installments, the first of which is due on the first day of the calendar quarter immediately following the effective date of termination under Section 14(d).

The Actual Prescription Target for the period is [***] prescriptions.

Client agrees to make certain repayments to CHS, as percentages of the Aggregate Discount Amount, based on the actual filled prescriptions of the Product during the four quarterly periods immediately following the launch of the Product (such consecutive three month periods referred to as “Q1,” “Q2,” “Q3,” and “Q4.”), and the applicable Repayment Rate. Such repayments by Client to CHS shall be made, using the applicable Repayment Rate determined as above, in four quarterly installments, with the first such payment occurring on the six month anniversary of the Product launch and with subsequent payments made on the ninth, twelfth, and fifteenth month anniversaries of the launch of the Product, in accordance with the following procedure:

(1) The first such payment will be determined by applying the Q1 Repayment Rate (the “Q1 Rate”) – which is determined by comparing the actual filled prescriptions of the Product made during Q1, with Actual Prescriptions Target for Q1 – to one quarter of the Aggregate Discount Amount, according to the following formula. The Actual Prescription Target for Q1 is [***] prescriptions.

1^st Repayment = (1/4)(Aggregate Discount Amount)(Q1 Rate)

(3) The third such payment will be determined by applying the Q3 Repayment Rate (the “Q3 Rate”) – which is determined by comparing the aggregate actual filled prescriptions of the Product made during Q1, Q2, and Q3 with sum of the Actual Prescriptions Targets for Q1, Q2, and Q3 – to three quarters of the Aggregate Discount Amount, less the 1^st Repayment and the 2^nd Repayment, according to the following formula. The Actual Prescription Target for Q3 is [***] prescriptions.

3^rd Repayment = (3/4)(Aggregate Discount Amount)(Q3 Rate) – 1^st Repayment –2^nd Repayment; In the event the 3rd Repayment is negative, then CHS will pay Client the amount of the 3rd Repayment.

(4) The fourth and final such payment will be based on applying the Q4 Repayment Rate (the “Q4 Rate”) – which is determined by comparing the aggregate actual filled prescriptions of the Product made during Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4, with sum of the Actual Prescriptions Targets for Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 – to the total Aggregate Discount Amount, less the 1^st Repayment, 2^nd Repayment and 3^rd Repayment, according to the following formula.
