this Agreement by such breaching Party.





13.0 JOINT PUBLICITY





If either Party wishes to make a public announcement concerning this Agreement or the
relationship established hereunder and such disclosure mentions the other Party by name or
description or incorporates that Party’s trademarks, service marks, logos or other similar
marks, such other Party shall be provided with an advance copy of the disclosure and shall
have five (5) business days within which to approve or disapprove such use of its name or

delayed, except that Distributor may assign this Agreement or its rights and obligations
hereunder to any of its corporate affiliates with notice to TMC and provided that the
assignee assumes and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and is capable of
performing its obligations hereunder. The foregoing notwithstanding, TMC may, without such
consent, but upon written notice to Distributor, assign this Agreement or its rights and
obligations hereunder in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of
its business, or in the event of a merger, consolidation, change in control or similar

Party granting the waiver.

provision.

to include any other number, singular or plural, and any gender specifically used, will
be construed to include any other gender, masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the

exclusive. “Including” means “including, but not limited to.”

forth in this Agreement, it is not relying on any statement, whether oral or
written, of any person or entity with respect to its entry into this Agreement or to
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Nothing in
this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the Parties under the 3PL Agreement.
	 
	 	15.12	 	Coordination. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this
Agreement and any exhibit attached hereto, invoice, or any purchase order or other form
issued by either Party to the other, the terms of this Agreement shall apply.

valuable consideration, the undersigned have agreed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

SCHEDULE A




Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement




     1. Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means any confidential
or proprietary information that is disclosed or made available by one party (“Disclosing Party”) to
the other party (“Recipient”), whether in writing or other tangible form, orally or otherwise.
Confidential Information includes (a) information about customers, processes, systems, strategic
plans, business plans, operating data, financial information and other information and (b) any
analysis, compilation, study or other material prepared by Recipient (regardless of the form in
which it is maintained) that contains or otherwise reflects any information disclosed or made
available by Disclosing Party to Recipient.



     2. Exclusions from Confidential Information. Confidential Information does not include
information that:



          (a) at the time of disclosure to Recipient, is generally available to the public;




          (b) after disclosure to Recipient, becomes generally available to the public other than as a
result of a breach of this Agreement by Recipient (including any of its affiliates);




          (c) Recipient can establish was already in its possession at the time the information was
received from Disclosing Party if its source was not known by Recipient to be bound to an
obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information;




          (d) Recipient receives from a third party if its source was not known by Recipient to be bound
to an obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information; or




          (e) Recipient can establish was developed independently by Recipient without use, directly or
indirectly, of any Confidential Information.




     3. Limitations on Disclosure and Use. Confidential Information must be kept strictly
confidential and may not be disclosed or used by Recipient except as specifically permitted by this
Agreement or as specifically authorized in advance in writing by Disclosing Party. Recipient may
not take any action that causes Confidential Information to lose its confidential and proprietary
nature or fail to take any reasonable action necessary to prevent any Confidential Information from
losing its confidential and proprietary nature. Recipient will limit access to Confidential
Information to its employees, officers, directors or other authorized representatives (or those of
its affiliates) who (a) need to know such Confidential Information in connection with this
Agreement and (b) are obligated to Recipient to maintain Confidential Information under terms and
conditions at least as stringent as those under this Agreement. Recipient will inform all such
persons of the confidential and proprietary nature of Confidential Information and will take all
reasonable steps to ensure they do not breach their confidentiality obligations, including taking
any steps Recipient would take to protect its own similarly confidential information. Recipient
will be responsible for any breach of confidentiality obligations by such persons.



     4. Ownership. All Confidential Information and derivations of Confidential Information will
remain the sole and exclusive property of Disclosing Party and, except as provided, no license or
other right to it will be implied by this Agreement. If Recipient has prepared any analysis,
compilation, study or other material (regardless of form) that contains or otherwise reflects any
Confidential Information, then such material will be owned solely by Disclosing Party and treated
as its Confidential Information under this Agreement.



15









 





     5. Return or Destruction of Confidential Information. Upon Disclosing Party’s request,
Recipient will promptly deliver to Disclosing Party or destroy all Confidential Information
(including material that contains or otherwise reflects Confidential Information) in its custody or
control and will deliver it to Disclosing Party within ten (10) business days after such request or
deliver a written statement from a corporate officers certifying it has destroyed all of Disclosing
Party’s Confidential Information. Unless authorized in writing by Disclosing Party, Recipient will
not retain any copy, extract or summary of Confidential Information (including material that
contains or otherwise reflects Confidential Information).



     6. Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges that, when it is Recipient, money damages would
not be a sufficient remedy for Disclosing Party in the event of any breach of the non-disclosure
and confidentiality provisions of the Agreement and that Disclosing Party is entitled to seek
specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach.
Recipient further agrees to waive any requirement for the posting of any bond in connection with
any such remedy. Such remedy will be in addition to any other available remedies at law or in
equity.



     7. Disclosures Required by Law. If Recipient is required by law to disclose any Confidential
Information, Recipient will give Disclosing Party prompt notice and will use all reasonable means
to obtain confidential treatment for any Confidential Information that it is required to disclose
before making any such disclosure. If Recipient cannot assure confidential treatment and it has
exhausted all reasonable efforts to do so, Recipient may disclose Confidential Information if it
first receives a written opinion of its external legal counsel that it is required by law to
disclose the information it discloses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Disclosing Party may request
Recipient to take additional steps to seek confidential treatment before Recipient discloses
Confidential Information even though Recipient has otherwise exhausted all reasonable efforts to do
so. In such event, Recipient will undertake such additional steps at Disclosing Party’s expense.

	 	 	TMC will reimburse Distributor monthly for any contract sales administered as a direct price
(anything less than current WAC of the product) at time of sale. Reimbursement amount to
Distributor is current WAC at time of contract sale minus contract price.
	 
	 	 	Any direct pricing will be provided by TMC to Distributor.





LEGEND:



At the conclusion of every month, Distributor will calculate the Monthly Management Fee
for Customer Service and Distribution (B, above) based on percentage of Gross Sales
method. Gross Sales are defined as current WAC at the time of purchase from TMC times
number of units purchased.



 




**  This charge is for one-off hospitals that choose not to order through a Wholesaler,
and therefore must be setup as a direct bill-to account, when all Wholesalers are
participating in the Drop Ship Channel. The Direct to Hospital Fee shall not apply if
at least one Wholesaler does not participate in the Drop Ship Channel.

EXHIBIT E

Chargeback Procedures



TMC will notify Bill-To Customers of TMC Contracts (purchasers under TMC Contracts are collectively
referred to in this Exhibit E as “Customers”). The following policy sets forth the procedures by
which Distributor, acting on behalf of TMC, will accept and process chargeback claims submitted by
Bill-To Customers resulting from Customer purchases under TMC Contracts, including transactions
that occurred prior to April 2, 2007.





	a)	 	Chargeback claims will be submitted to Distributor through EDI transactions and/or manually
after sale to the Customer. Bill-To Customers will submit proof of sales to Customers with
the chargeback claims, including the ship-to location name and address, number of units, NDC
number, and WAC.
	 
	b)	 	Bill-To Customer’s product purchase price will be deemed to be WAC for purposes of
calculating chargeback claims. The chargeback amount will be the difference between WAC and
the contract price offered by TMC to the Customer.
	 
	c)	 	Chargeback claims that are determined by Distributor to be invalid will be denied.
	 
	d)	 	If a chargeback claim is denied for insufficient information, Distributor will allow Bill-To
Customers to resubmit the claim with complete information. In addition, if new information
surfaces that requires corrections and adjustments to sales reports, Distributor will allow
claims to be reopened and resubmitted.
	 
	e)	 	Chargeback reconciliation issues will be promptly resolved, with each Party responding to the
other within thirty (30) days following receipt of supporting documentation. If a chargeback
dispute arises between Distributor and a Bill-To Customer, Distributor will notify TMC
promptly upon identifying the problem so that TMC may intervene. If TMC is unable to resolve
the dispute within seven (7) business days of notification, Distributor will have no further
obligation to sell to such Bill-To Customer.
	 
	f)	 	If a Customer returns a product that was subject to a chargeback claim, Distributor will
report such return to TMC and reverse the chargeback claim by adjusting any credit memo(s)
issued to Bill-To Customer.
	 
	g)	 	TMC will promptly reimburse Distributor for any amounts deducted by Bill-To Customers from
amounts owed by them to Distributor relating to Product such Bill-To Customers purchased from
TMC; provided, however, nothing in this Section shall affect TMC’s and the Distributor’s
rights and obligations under the 3PL Agreement
