Page 6 of 47

payment without the required reports shall be considered non-payment until reports meeting the above requirements have been delivered to Division.

3.4 Payment Terms and Late Fees. Division shall have the right to charge, and Vendor agrees to pay, a late fee equal to one percent (1%) per month (or the maximum allowed by law, whichever is less) of the amount of any Rebates or other fees not paid or refunded by Vendor in accordance with the payment terms stated herein or, if not otherwise stated herein, within thirty (30) days from receipt of an invoice with respect thereto. Any Purchaser shall have the right to charge, and Vendor agrees to pay, a late fee equal to one percent (1%) per month (or the maximum allowed by law, whichever is less) of the amount of any Purchaser overpayments specified in Section 2.6, or other fees not paid or refunded by Vendor in accordance with the payment terms stated herein or, if not otherwise stated herein, within thirty (30) days from receipt of an invoice with respect thereto.

If Division receives information from any source that indicates that Vendor is not in compliance with the Market Competitiveness Guarantee, then Division may provide written notice of such information to Vendor.

If a competitive product must be purchased by Purchaser at a higher net cost, including freight, as a substitute for the Products not delivered by Vendor within the required time period stated in this Section 7.0 or Exhibit B, Vendor shall reimburse Purchaser for the additional reasonable cost incurred.

7.4 No Breach of Award. Neither Purchaser nor Division shall be deemed to be in breach of any Sole Source Award or Dual Source Award terms of this Agreement (if any) as a result of the purchase of replacements for Product that Vendor is unable to provide as required by the terms of this Agreement.

7.6 Fill Rate Requirements. Vendor represents and warrants that it shall meet or exceed a ninety-five percent (95%) Fill Rate (unless a different Fill Rate is specified in Exhibit B) for each Product during the Term (the “Required Fill Rate”).

Any reasonable

Page 20 of 47

costs and expenses incurred by Division and any Purchasers to mitigate or lessen any damages or harm caused by any failure of Products or Services to comply with the warranties referenced in this Agreement shall be considered direct damages.

Vendor agrees to and does hereby defend, indemnify and hold harmless Division and each Purchaser, their Affiliates, successors, assigns, directors, officers, agents and employees (“Division Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, demands, losses, damages, costs, expenses, fines, amounts paid in settlements or judgments, and all other reasonable expenses and costs incident thereto, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively referred to as “Damages”) arising out of or resulting from: (i) any claim, lawsuit, investigation, proceeding, regulatory action, or other cause of action, arising out of or in connection with Products and/or Services, or the possession and/or use of the Products or Services (“Injury”), except to the extent the Injury was caused by reason of a Division Indemnitee’s negligence; (ii) the breach or alleged breach by Vendor of the representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or in materials furnished by Vendor, including the Warranty of Non-exclusion set forth in Section 14.5; or (iii) any infringement, misappropriation or alleged infringement or misappropriation of any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property right resulting from the purchase of Products and/or Purchasers’ possession and use thereof, as well as from receipt of any Services provided hereunder. If the Injury is caused by the negligence of both Vendor and any of the Division Indemnitees, the apportionment of said Damages shall be shared between Vendor and such Division Indemnitees based upon the comparative degree of each other’s negligence, and each shall be responsible for its own defense and costs, including but not limited to the costs of defense, attorneys’ fees, witnesses’ fees and expenses incident thereto.

10.2 Indemnification Process. If any demand or claim is made or suit is commenced against an Division Indemnitee for which Vendor has an indemnity obligation under Section 10.1 above, written notice of such shall be provided to Vendor, Vendor shall undertake the defense of any such suit, and such Division Indemnitee shall cooperate with Vendor in the defense of the demand, claim or suit to whatever reasonable extent Vendor requires and at Vendor’s sole expense. Vendor shall have the right to compromise such claim at Vendor’s expense for the benefit of such Division Indemnitee; provided, however, Vendor shall not have the right to obligate a Division Indemnitee in any respect in connection with any such compromise without the written consent of such Division Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Vendor fails to assume its obligation to defend, a Division Indemnitee may do so to protect its interest and seek reimbursement from Vendor.

14.4.3 Costs. The cost of the audit, including the cost of the auditors, shall be paid by Division. Division shall have no obligation to pay any costs incurred by Vendor, its employees or agents in cooperating with Division in such audit.

14.4.4 Audit Report and Payments. Upon completion of the audit, Vendor will be notified in writing of the results (an “Audit Report”). If no response to the Audit Report is received from Vendor within thirty (30) days following its issuance, the Audit Report shall be deemed accepted by Vendor, and Division will issue an invoice to Vendor for any amounts due. Vendor shall pay Division for proper application and allocation, the amount of any overcharges and unapplied credits (as to Purchasers) and underpayments (as to Division) determined by the audit within thirty (30) days from receipt of an invoice from Division; Vendor shall not use the overcharges or underpayments as a set-off in any fashion. Payment by Purchasers of mutually negotiated prices for Products that are less than those listed in Exhibit A shall not be considered to be undercharges and shall not be applied to reduce the amount of any overcharges by Vendor. The unpaid amount of any overcharges or underpayments shall be subject to a late payment fee as stated in Section 3.4.

14.4.5 Disputes; Settlement Exclusions. The Parties agree to use good faith efforts to resolve any dispute that may arise from any Audit Report issued pursuant to Section 14.4.4.

14.4.6 Pricing Validation. The foregoing provisions for conducting audits shall not be construed to preclude Division or any Purchaser from conducting regular, limited in scope reviews of charges by Vendor for purchases under this Agreement to validate accurate invoicing, and requesting that Vendor correct any inaccurate invoices discovered by such review. Vendor shall also have the right to conduct regular, limited in scope reviews of any amounts charged by Division (such as Rebates) under this Agreement to validate accurate invoicing, and requesting that Division correct any inaccurate invoices discovered by such review. The Parties acknowledge that any reviews under this Section 14.4.6 shall be conducted via data exchange between Division or Purchaser and Vendor, and shall not be conducted on the premises of a Party or a Purchaser. In addition, the Parties agree that the above limited reviews shall only be undertaken when the Party or Purchaser requesting the review has a good faith dispute with a particular invoice.

14.5 Warranty of Non-exclusion. Vendor represents and warrants to Division, Purchasers and their Affiliates that Vendor and its directors, officers, and key employees (i) are not currently excluded, debarred, or otherwise ineligible to participate in the Federal health care programs as defined in 42 U.S.C. §1320a-7b(f) (the “Federal Healthcare Programs”); (ii) have not been convicted of a criminal offense related to the provision of healthcare items or services but have not yet been excluded, debarred, or otherwise declared ineligible to participate in the Federal Healthcare Programs; and (iii) are not under investigation or otherwise aware of any circumstances which may result in Vendor being excluded from participation in the Federal Healthcare Programs. These representations and warranties shall be ongoing during the Term, and Vendor shall immediately notify Division of any change in the status of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 14.5. Any breach of this Section 14.5 shall give Division the right to terminate this Agreement immediately.

14.6 No Remuneration. Vendor represents and warrants to Division and Purchasers that Vendor has not made, is not obligated to make, and will not make any payment or provide any remuneration or items of intrinsic value to any third party or to Division, Purchasers or their directors, officers or employees in return for Division entering into this Agreement or for any business transacted under this Agreement (excluding any Rebates).

14.7 Background Checks. Vendor agrees to perform background checks on any Vendor employees, representatives or agents hired on or after the Effective Date who have access to, or may have access to, any Purchaser facility for the purpose of delivering, maintaining, servicing, or removing equipment and/or Products, to ensure such employees: (i) are not currently excluded, debarred or otherwise ineligible to participate in any Federal Healthcare Program or the

Page 28 of 47

healthcare program of any state in which such employee will be providing services for a Purchaser, (ii) have not been convicted of a criminal offense related to the provision of healthcare items or services but have not yet been excluded; (iii) have not been convicted of any felony; (iv) as discovered through any background check or based upon Vendor’s knowledge, have not been terminated from employment by any employer or contractor for theft, misappropriation of property, or any other potentially illegal or unethical acts; and (v) have the appropriate 1-9 documentation. Vendor agrees not to use any employee or potential employee failing to meet the above criteria to provide Services to any Purchaser under this Agreement. Any breach of this Section 14.7 shall give Division the right to terminate this Agreement immediately.

14.8 Vendor Relations Policy. Vendor acknowledges that Division has a Vendor Relations Policy relating to ethics and compliance issues between suppliers and Division, and that it can access such policy through the internet at:

xxxx://xx.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/XxxxxxXxxx.xxx?XxxxXxxx—PMM

14.9 Potential Conflicts. Vendor agrees to notify any Purchasers or potential Purchasers of any potential conflict of interest between employees and representatives of Vendor selling Products and any Purchasers or their employees, representatives or independent contractors (including physicians) possibly involved in the purchasing decision process.

15.0 Merger of Terms

15.1 Entire Agreement: Prior Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and, as of the Effective Date, this Agreement terminates and replaces any existing agreement between Division and Vendor (the “Prior Agreement”) for purchases of products and services comparable to the Products and Services by Purchasers. This Agreement shall exclusively

Page 29 of 47

govern the purchases of Products and/or Services by Facilities that occur during the Term.

15.2 Other Documents. The terms of any purchase order issued by a Purchaser shall not apply to purchases of Products and Services hereunder, except as necessary to designate specific Products and Services, quantities, delivery dates, and other similar terms that may vary from order to order•, the terms of this Agreement, to the extent applicable, shall be deemed incorporated into such purchase orders. The terms and conditions contained in any invoice, xxxx of lading, or other documents supplied by Vendor are expressly rejected and superseded by this Agreement and shall not be included in any contract with a Purchaser. No commitment form, standardization incentive program acknowledgement, or any other document shall be required by Vendor to be signed by a Purchaser to purchase Products and/or Services under this Agreement, unless expressly stated herein or later approved in writing by Division. Any change to such documents that are attached to this Agreement shall first be approved in writing by Division.

15.3 Conflicts. If any conflict arises between the terms herein and the terms of any Exhibit hereto, the priority for control, from first to last priority, shall be Exhibit B, Exhibit A, the terms herein, and then any other Exhibit. The terms of this Agreement shall take priority over any conflicting terms contained in any Vendor Product warranty, whether referenced herein, attached to this Agreement, included with any Product sold by Vendor, or included as part of any facility agreement between Vendor and a Purchaser. The terms of this Agreement shall take priority over the terms of any facility agreement, commitment form, standardization incentive program acknowledgement, or other similar form signed by a Purchaser, unless such document expressly states otherwise and has been approved in writing by Division.

16.0 Modifications of Terms

16.1 Amendments. Subject to Section 16.2, this Agreement, as executed and approved, shall not be modified except by written amendment signed by the Parties hereto expressly stating an intent to modify the terms of this Agreement.

16.2 Exhibit A Revisions. The following described informal amendment process for revising Exhibit A may be used by the Parties in place of the amendment process specified in Section 16.1 only when revising catalog numbers for Products (“Exhibit A Revisions”). Exhibit A Revisions shall be implemented by transmission or delivery by an authorized representative of one Party of a document expressly stating the desired Exhibit A Revisions and a return transmission or delivery by an authorized representative of the other Party of its consent to such Exhibit A Revisions. The effective date of such Exhibit A Revisions shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties. For purposes of clarification, a formal amendment pursuant to Section 16.1 shall be required for any price changes, Product additions and/or deletions, modifications to the

Page 30 of 47

Products, changes to Exhibit A other than Exhibit A Revisions, or an extension of the Term, as well as for any modifications to the terms of this Agreement.

17.0 Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprises

17.1 Policies. Division and Vendor acknowledge their respective corporate policies and practices to not only encourage, but to expand the participation of Minority and Woman Owned Business Enterprises (“MWBEs”) in their procurement processes, and their desire to work together to encourage the use of MWBEs in fulfillment of their obligations under this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, MWBEs shall be defined to include any company certified as a minority or women owned business by the National Minority Supplier Development Council or any local affiliates thereof, or any federal, national, state, municipal, or local agency that certifies minority and/or woman owned businesses in accordance with PL. 95-507.

17.2 Contracting with MWBEs. Vendor recognizes and acknowledges that, in conjunction with Division’s efforts to involve MWBEs in its contracting process, Division may enter into purchasing agreements with MWBEs that will enable Facilities to purchase supplies and/or equipment comparable to the Products hereunder. In such event, notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties agree that if Division enters into any such agreement(s) with any MWBEs, such will not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by Division, nor will any purchases by Facilities or their Affiliates from MWBEs be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement or any agreement hereunder between Vendor and a Purchaser.

17.3 Reporting of MWBE Activity. Each quarter, Vendor shall identify and report in writing to Division all MWBE activities in which it participates, specifically identifying such activities and purchases relating to Products and Services obtained under this Agreement (“MWBE Report”). These reports shall be submitted using the format shown on Exhibit D of this Agreement. MWBE Reports shall be submitted even if no dollars have been expended for MWBE activities during the applicable reporting period. Vendor shall report only those activities related to goods and services necessary for and directly related to the fulfillment of Vendor’s obligations under this Agreement. Vendor shall identify in such reports any MWBE subcontractors used during the reporting period. The MWBE contact for Vendor shall be the person listed in Exhibit B.

19.0 New Technoloav

During the Term, if any new product or new technology related to Products (each, a “New Technology Product”) becomes available from any supplier including Vendor, Division shall have the right to evaluate and ultimately contract with Vendor or another supplier so that Division can offer New Technology Products to Facilities. A product that (i) offers significant technological advancements; (ii) would significantly improve clinical outcomes or patient care; or (iii) would significantly streamline work processes, as compared to existing Products, may qualify as a New Technology Product. Vendor shall provide Division with an opportunity to purchase, at discounts comparable to those applicable to Products under this Agreement, New Technology Products offered by Vendor and not referenced in Exhibit A, and shall notify Division of such at least thirty (30) days prior to New Technology Products being made available for purchase through commercial/public release. Vendor shall complete any requested documentation and meet with Division to provide required product information to Division and its clinical committees prior to the New Technology Product being made available to Facilities for purchase. Division shall offer Vendor equal consideration and review for potential supply commitments for New Technology Products. If Division enters into any national or group agreement for Facilities to purchase a New Technology Product from a supplier other than Vendor, neither such agreement nor the purchase of the New Technology Product (by itself) shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or failure by Division or Purchasers to meet the purchasing requirements under this Agreement or any agreement hereunder between Vendor and a Purchaser.

20.0 Contracting for Environmentally Acceptable Products.

Vendor recognizes and acknowledges that, in conjunction with Division’s efforts to make environmentally acceptable products available to Facilities, if the disclosures in Exhibit E indicate that any of the Products contain any of the materials listed in Section 9.2, then Division may enter into purchasing agreements with suppliers that will enable Facilities to purchase alternative products comparable to such Products that do not contain such

Page 32 of 47

materials. Notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties agree that if Division enters into any such agreement(s), such will not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by Division, nor will any purchases by Facilities or their Affiliates from these alternate sources be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement or any agreement hereunder between Vendor and a Purchaser.

21.0 Miscellaneous

21.1 Publicity. No advertisement, solicitation, or public announcement of the existence of this Agreement or the relationship created hereby may be made by either Party, unless such Party is required by law to do so, or the Parties mutually agree to do so. In such event, the text of any proposed announcement should be first submitted in writing in accordance with Section 18.0 or Exhibit B (Vendor contact information). Any violation of this provision shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement, conferring on the non-breaching Party the right to terminate this Agreement immediately without any right of the breaching Party to cure such breach.

21.2 Assignment. Neither Party shall assign this Agreement in whole or in part, nor subcontract its obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any assignment or subcontract without such prior consent shall be void and have no effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign, without obtaining consent from the other Party, in whole or in part, its rights and obligations under this Agreement (i) to any entity which is an Affiliate of the assigning Party; or (ii) to a successor entity of the assigning Party as part of an internal reorganization of such Party which results in the assigning Party being organized in one or more different legal entities or any other corporate form(s), whether through conversion, merger, or otherwise. Subject to the foregoing, all terms, conditions, covenants and agreements contained herein shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon any successor and any permitted assignees of the respective Parties hereto. It is further understood and agreed that consent by either Party to such assignment in one instance shall not constitute consent by the Party to any other assignment.

21.3 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement should for any reason be held invalid, unenforceable or contrary to public policy, the remainder of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding.

21.4 Waivers. The waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not be effective unless made in writing and signed by both Parties. No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right, power or remedy with respect to any of its rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.

21.5 Governing Law.
