AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO AMENDED AND RESTATED CARDIOLITE® LICENSE AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT

 

This Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Cardiolite® License and Supply Agreement (this “Amendment”) is made effective as of December 27, 2012 (the “Amendment Date”) by and between Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc. (“LMI”) and Cardinal Health 414, LLC (“Licensee”).

 

WHEREAS, LMI and Licensee entered into an Amended and Restated Cardiolite® License and Supply Agreement as of January 1, 2009 and effective as of January 1, 2004 (the “Original Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, LMI and Licensee entered into an Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Cardiolite® License and Supply Agreement as of February 9, 2012 (referred to herein as “Amendment No. 1” and, together with the Original Agreement, collectively, the “Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, LMI and Licensee wish to further amend the Agreement to extend its term and specify pricing and volume requirements for the continued supply of Sestamibi Products as set forth in this Amendment.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             Definitions.  Terms defined in the Agreement and not otherwise defined or modified in this Amendment are used herein with the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

 

2.             Minimum Purchase Obligation.  The Parties agree that, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, Licensee shall purchase from LMI at least **** of Sestamibi Product in the **** of each **** and ****during the term of the Agreement (as amended hereby) (the “Minimum Quantity”) at a price of $****, provided that, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Licensee or its Affiliates in **** shall be permitted to order reasonable quantities of Sestamibi Product from LMI’s Affiliates in **** for the radiopharmacy locations controlled by Licensee or its Affiliates in **** on a **** basis and such quantities of Sestamibi Product will be included in the calculation of the Minimum Quantity for such ****.  Licensee shall provide LMI with at least **** (****) days written notice prior to any change to such standing orders for Sestamibi Product placed by Licensee or its Affiliates for ****.  Compliance with such Minimum Quantity will be determined as of **** 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 Product from LMI, Licensee will

 

 

promptly pay to LMI any remaining portion of the applicable Minimum Quantity not invoiced prior to the end of such Compliance Period (each a “Shortfall Payment”).  In addition, within **** (****) weeks prior to the end of any Compliance Period, Licensee shall (i) make a good faith estimate of additional amounts of Sestamibi 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.  For purposes of clarity, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Licensee’s purchase obligations set forth in Amendment No. 1 (including, but not limited to, the purchase obligations under Section 2.3) shall remain in effect and unmodified by this Amendment, and any such purchases made by Licensee pursuant to Amendment No. 1 shall not count towards, and not be included in the calculation of, any Minimum Quantity hereunder.  The Parties further acknowledge and agree that any Shortfall Payment made by Licensee pursuant to this Amendment shall not count towards, and not be included in the calculation of, any Minimum Quantity for the next succeeding Compliance Period hereunder, and the requirements set forth in Section 7 of Amendment No. 1 shall not apply to the purchase of Sestamibi Product pursuant to this Amendment.  With the exception of Sestamibi Product purchased for ****  (which shall not be subject to the Product Dating requirements set forth herein), without limitation to any other provision in the Agreement, LMI shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver Sestamibi Products to Licensee under this Amendment with useful life prior to product expiration (“Product Dating”) of at least **** percent (****%) of the maximum Product Dating for such lots of Sestamibi Product based on the applicable regulatory approvals.  In addition, with respect to the Minimum Quantity of Sestamibi Product purchased for ****, without limitation to any other rights or remedies available to Licensee in connection with the foregoing provision, Licensee may at its option reject any Sestamibi Product delivered to Licensee with less than the following amounts of Product Dating:

 

(i)                                     **** (****) **** of Product Dating if such Sestamibi Product was produced by one of LMI’s third party manufacturers of Sestamibi Product approved by the FDA to supply commercial quantities of Sestamibi Product to LMI as of the Amendment Date; and

 

(ii)                                  **** (****) **** of Product Dating if such Sestamibi Product was produced by one of LMI’s third party manufacturers of Sestamibi Product approved by the FDA to supply commercial quantities of Sestamibi Product to LMI after the Amendment Date.

 

Upon any such rejection, if LMI fails to replace such rejected Sestamibi Product within **** (****) days following the date of the rejection, such rejected Sestamibi Product shall be counted towards Licensee’s satisfaction of the Minimum Quantity obligation hereunder.

 

3.             No Restriction on Sales of Sestamibi Products.  Section 2.27 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety as of the Amendment Date.

 

2

 

4.             Canada and Puerto Rico.  Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, LMI hereby agrees that all rights of Licensee to dispense and sell Sestamibi Products in the United States shall apply equally to Canada and Puerto Rico for any radiopharmacy locations controlled by Licensee or its Affiliates in such geographic locations, and LMI or, with respect to the supply of Sestamibi Product to Canada, its Affiliates shall supply Sestamibi Products to such Canada and Puerto Rico radiopharmacy locations pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, provided that the Sestamibi Product is approved and properly labeled for sale in such geographic territory under all applicable laws and regulations.

 

5.             Term and Termination.  Section 3.01 of the Agreement is hereby amended such that the date “December 31, 2012” appearing in the first sentence thereof shall be deleted and replaced with “December 31, 2014” as of the Amendment Date.

 

6.             No Further Changes.  Except as specifically amended hereby, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and otherwise unmodified.  All amendments in Sections 2 and 3 of this Amendment shall be deemed made as of the Amendment Date, and the Agreement shall not be deemed to have been modified until the Amendment Date.

 

7.             General.  This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Signatures hereto may be delivered by facsimile or a “pdf” file through electronic mail, and such delivery will have the same effect as the delivery of the paper document bearing the actual handwritten signatures.  This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof.  LMI and Licensee understand and agree that each and every term and condition of this Amendment, have or has been mutually negotiated, prepared and drafted, and in connection with the interpretation or construction of such term or condition or this Amendment, no consideration will be given to the issue of which of LMI or Licensee prepared, drafted or requested any term or condition of this Amendment.

For the purpose of this provision, the Products reasonably required by FRI for regulatory and compliance testing purposes means the Products that FRI is required by the applicable regulatory authorities in Japan and/or FRI voluntary plans

5.6                    The parties acknowledge and agree that LMI’s obligations under this Agreement to supply Product are conditioned on LMI’s ability, using commercially reasonable efforts, to be supplied with Product and components thereof from third parties.  If LMI fails to supply FRI with the Product set forth in a Firm Order for any reason, the parties shall discuss in good faith commercially reasonable options to resolve the supply failure and/or to minimize the impact of the supply failure****.

Article 13.                 (Confidentiality)

 

13.1             All Confidential Information, as defined hereinafter, disclosed by or on behalf of a party (the “Disclosing Party”) and received by the other party (the “Receiving Party”) shall be held in confidence by the Receiving Party.  From and after the Effective Date of this Agreement, subject to Section 13.2 and except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, managers, employees, independent contractors, subcontractors, agents, lender or consultants (“Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate the Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) of the Disclosing Party to any third party other than Representatives of the Receiving Party or of its Affiliates who reasonably need to know such information in the performance of their responsibilities under this Agreement.  The Receiving Party shall not use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than in connection with exercising its rights and fulfilling its obligations hereunder.  The Receiving Party and its Affiliates and Representatives shall use the same degree of care to prevent and restrain the unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party as they currently use for their own confidential information of a like nature, but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care.  “Confidential Information” means, with regard to a Disclosing Party, any confidential information, data, material or documents of such party and its Affiliates relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder, irrespective of the form of communication, and all notes, analyses, compilations, data, translations, studies, memoranda, operating procedures or other documents prepared by the Receiving Party or its Affiliates or their Representatives that contain or otherwise reflect such information, data, material or documents;

 

15

 

provided, however, that “Confidential Information” does not include, and there shall be no obligation hereunder with respect to, information, data, material or documents that (i) are or become generally available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party and its Affiliates and Representatives not otherwise permissible hereunder, (ii) the Receiving Party can demonstrate was or became available to the Receiving Party from a source other than the Disclosing Party and its respective Affiliates, or (iii) are developed independently by the Receiving Party and its Affiliates and Representatives without reference to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; provided, however, that, in the case of clause (ii), the source of such information, data, material or documents was not known by the Receiving Party to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the Disclosing Party and its Affiliates and Representatives with respect to such information, data, material or documents.  Confidential Information shall not be deemed within the foregoing exceptions if (i) specific information is merely embraced by more general information in the public domain or the Receiving Party’s possession, or (ii) it constitutes a combination which can be reconstructed from multiple sources in the public domain or the Receiving Party’s possession, none of which shows the whole combination of the Confidential Information.  The obligations of this paragraph shall survive **** (****) years following the term of this Agreement.

 

13.2             If the Receiving Party or its Affiliates are requested or required (by oral question, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) by any court of competent jurisdiction or by a judicial, administrative, legislative or regulatory body or committee to disclose or provide any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall use all reasonable efforts to provide the Disclosing Party with written notice of such request or demand as promptly as practicable under the circumstances so that the Disclosing Party shall have an opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order.  The Disclosing Party receiving such request or demand agrees to take, and cause its Representatives to take, at the requesting party’s expense, all other reasonable steps necessary to obtain confidential treatment or to resist or narrow such request.  Subject to the foregoing, the Receiving Party may thereafter disclose or provide any such Confidential Information, as the case may be, to the extent required by applicable law (as so advised by

 

16

 

counsel); it being understood that LMI shall have the right to file this Agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to the extent it reasonably determines such filing is required under applicable laws or regulations, and that LMI shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek confidential treatment of pricing and other competitively sensitive information.

 

13.3             Title and rights to, and emanating from, the ownership of all Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement shall remain vested in the Disclosing Party.  Upon written request of the Disclosing Party, except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall return promptly to the Disclosing Party or, with the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, destroy all written materials and documents in their possessions, made available or supplied by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party that contains Confidential Information together with any copies thereof.

 

13.4             The parties further acknowledges and agrees that the disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information without the express written consent of the Disclosing Party may cause irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party, and that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party will entitle the Disclosing Party to seek injunctive relief, in addition to any other legal remedies available to it, in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

Article 14.                 (Product Liability)

 

14.1             Both parties shall make best efforts to obtain safety information regarding Finished Products as well as products similar to Finished Products, and shall provide such information to the other party in accordance with the SDEA and Quality Agreement.

 

14.2             In the event that either party becomes aware of any harm, including death, sickness or adverse social consequences, caused by or attributable to a Finished Product (hereinafter called “Damage”) or has any good reason to believe that Damage may have occurred or is likely to occur, such party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other party.  Thereupon, the parties shall mutually cooperate in the taking of prompt and appropriate measures to limit the

 

17

 

actual or potential Damage to a minimum in order to control or prevent the expansion of such Damage, and shall further cooperate in the investigation of the cause of such Damage.

 

14.3             LMI shall provide FRI with sufficient, precise and state-of-the-art information in the English language that will be necessary for FRI to prepare appropriate package inserts including, but not limited to, instructions and warnings, in the Japanese language that satisfy the requirements of the applicable laws of the Territory.

 

14.4             In the event of the occurrence of any Damage to users caused by any safety problem regarding a Product arising from LMI’s manufacture thereof, or any inadequate instructions or warnings from LMI (limited to such instructions or warnings originating from LMI) regarding the use of a Finished Product except as otherwise set forth herein, LMI shall be solely responsible for any claim from such Damage, and shall be liable for the entire compensation payable therefor.  If for any reason whatsoever FRI makes payment for such compensation on behalf of LMI, or incurs any cost for preventative measures taken under Section 14.2 above, or for damage control measures, LMI shall promptly indemnify FRI in full for such payments and costs.

 

14.5             As between the parties, FRI shall be solely liable for any Damage arising from storage, transportation, or manufacture by FRI in the Territory of any Product or Finished Product, and shall hold LMI harmless and indemnified in that respect at all times.  In the event that FRI is found to be contributorily liable for causing Damage to the user of any Finished Product, FRI shall be liable jointly with LMI, for payment of the compensation and the costs set forth above in proportion to FRI’s share of that liability.  If for any reason whatsoever LMI makes payment for such compensation on behalf of FRI, or incurs any cost for preventative measures taken under Section 14.2 above, or for damage control measures, FRI shall promptly indemnify LMI in full for such payments and costs.

 

14.6             In the event that any suit is filed by any user of a Finished Product against FRI and/or LMI on the basis of any Damage sustained by such user, both parties shall mutually cooperate to defend such suit through the use of any appropriate means including, but not limited to, intervention in the suit.  With regard to the bearing of the costs and expenses incurred in

 

18

 

connection therewith including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees, the provisions of Sections 14.4 and 14.5 above shall apply mutatis mutandis.

Termination of this Agreement shall not terminate each parties rights and obligations under Articles 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14 and 15.

FUJIFILM RI PHARMA, CO., LTD

 

Regarding

 

The Product(s) 
 set forth in Appendix I

 

Revision Date: December 2012

 

 

I.     General Provisions

 

A.        Background

 

Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc., having a business office at 331 Treble Cove Road, N. Billerica, MA 01862, and FUJIFILM RI Pharma Co., Ltd., having a business office at 14-1, Kyobashi 2-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-0031 Japan (“MAH”), have entered into a business relationship related to the product(s) listed on Appendix I (hereinafter, collectively, referred to as the “Product(s)”).

 

LMI and the MAH have agreed to and hereby enter into this Safety Data Exchange Agreement (this “SDEA”) as of the date of the last signature hereto (the “Effective Date”) to set forth guidelines and procedures for (i) the provision of medical information, (ii) the receipt, recordation, exchange, communication, and submission of safety information associated with the use of the Product(s) (“Safety Data”), and (iii) the receipt, recordation, exchange, communication, investigation and submission of Product Quality Complaints (as defined below).  LANTHEUS and the MAH may hereinafter be collectively referred to as the “Parties”.

 

B.        Definitions and Terminology

 

For this document, ICH definitions are used.

 

Various terms are used by the Regulatory Agencies when referring to adverse events (AE), including adverse effect, adverse experience and unanticipated problems.  For the purpose of this SDEA the term Adverse Events will be used.

 

“Adverse Event” (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product regardless of any causal relationship with the product, including, but not limited to, the following: an adverse event occurring in the course of the use of a drug product.  An AE may be a new unintended or unfavorable sign or symptom, a laboratory abnormality, or a worsening in severity or frequency of a pre-existing medical condition.  An AE may arise from use of the product within the terms of the marketing authorization, outside the terms of the marketing authorization or during occupational exposure.

 

In addition to AEs, the following types of safety reports (“Special Situations” or “SS”) are subject to the same terms as AEs within this SDEA, regardless of whether an AE actually occurred:

 

·      Use of product during pregnancy;

 

·      Adverse reactions in an infant during breastfeeding;

 

·      Reports on compassionate use/named patient use;

 

·      Lack of efficacy or effect;

 

·      Report of suspected transmission of infectious disease;

 

·      Reports of overdose (accidental or intentional), abuse, misuse or medication error; or

 

·      Occupational exposure.

 

“Awareness Date” is the date that MAH personnel first becomes aware of information on an AE associated with the use of a Product and determines that it meets the minimum criteria.  For the

 

2

 

avoidance of doubt, the date will be determined according to the time zone of the location of such personnel at that moment.  The Awareness Date shall be counted as day zero for Safety Data exchange and regulatory reporting purposes.

 

“Minimum Criteria” are the four criteria that are required to record an AE in the safety database:

 

·      Identifiable patient (i.e., a reporter has confirmed the patient exists); patient identifiers are not required;

 

·      Identifiable reporter (at least the reporter type should be known, e.g., consumer or physician);

 

·      Adverse event (including events to be treated in the same manner, e.g., overdose, abuse, misuse, medication errors, occupational exposure, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or transmission of infectious agents); and

 

·      Identifiable drug (i.e., LMI brand name or active pharmaceutical ingredient where a brand name is not available).

 

“Product Quality Complaint” (PQC) is defined as an oral or written report, originating from an external or internal source, stating that a commercial product marketed by LMI is not meeting the customer’s expectations in relation to identity, quality, effectiveness or performance of the product.  Examples include a non-functioning device, a generator unable to elute, cracked or broken needles, a cracked vial, leakage of product into packaging prior to dosing, a piece of stopper in the vial, non-visualization of a target organ, or a product that arrives in damaged condition.

 

“Serious Adverse Event” (SAE) is an AE that is fatal, life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongs an existing hospitalization, results in- persistent or significant disability, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect or is medically significant.  Examples include hospitalization due to a heart attack, stroke, or a life-threatening allergic reaction.  Transmission of an infectious agent is always considered serious.

 

“Territory” shall mean the country of Japan, which is/are the country(ies) governed by this SDEA.

 

C.        Summary of Responsibilities

 

MAH shall be responsible for providing a medical information service; receipt, documentation and follow-up of AEs; receipt, documentation and follow-up of PQCs; for forwarding all AEs, PQCs, Special Situations, and other safety or quality related information to LMI to the contact points designated by LMI, for maintaining their own safety and quality databases, for trend analysis and issue management within the Territory and for reporting of such events per country or territory regulations.  MAH shall ensure that all of its distribution or marketing partners comply with the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

LMI is responsible for forwarding international AEs and Special Situations to the MAH, and for maintaining the global safety database for the Products.

MAH also agrees to document the aforementioned training activities, including the training material(s) used and make these documents reasonably accessible to LMI upon request.

 

LMI shall ensure that all relevant LMI personnel, including the Global Pharmacovigilance Agent, are trained in respect of this SDEA.

 

II.    Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSRs) Exchange

 

A.                        General Guidelines

 

As defined in section 1B, for the purpose of this SDEA, ICSRs shall include, but are not limited to, the following types of reports:  adverse events; adverse events associated with a product quality complaint; serious adverse events, or Special Situations (See Section 1 B).

 

ICSRs may originate from any source, such as healthcare professionals, regulatory authorities, consumers, patients, lawyers, and medical/scientific literature.  They may also be solicited reports such as those that are derived from organized data collection systems, such as clinical trials, registries, non-clinical studies (e.g., toxicological studies), post-approval named patient use programs, other support and disease management programs, surveys of patients or healthcare providers, or information gathering on efficacy or patient compliance.  MAH should attempt to obtain medical confirmation of ICSRs originating from non-healthcare professionals.

 

4

 

The MAH shall use every effort to ensure that all ICSR reports meet the minimum criteria for a valid safety report.  Such reports shall conform to all applicable regulatory requirements and shall, at a minimum, include the following information: an identifiable reporter, the patient identifier/subject number, the adverse event(s), and the product(s) involved, as described in section 1B.  However, cases should be transmitted for processing even when the patient and/or the reporter have not been identified.  Each Party shall use every effort to obtain comprehensive information for all ICSR reports, including a causal assessment from the reporter.  Solicited reports should be clearly marked as being of solicited origin and must have an appropriate causality assessment by a healthcare professional.

 

LMI may seek additional queries for follow-up information on ICSRs (serious and non-serious), as necessary.  MAH shall be responsible for obtaining such follow-up information from within the Territory and shall document all attempts (including those that were unsuccessful) for the attainment of such requested follow-up information.

 

B.                                    Literature Screening

 

LMI shall be responsible for actively screening scientific and medical literature worldwide and will forward any ICSRs that are identified to the MAH. However, this action shall not limit the responsibility of the MAH to report to LMI, in accordance with the timeframes stipulated in Section III C, ICSRs, Special Situations and general safety information discovered by the review of local literature.  If Territory regulations require the reporting of ICSRs from the medical literature, the MAH will do so within the required reporting timelines. LMI’s literature screening activities do not replace the MAH’s accountability for such activities as MAH in the Territory.

 

C.                        Reporting AEs, SAEs, ICSRs and SS

 

The MAH will forward to LMI’s GPV Agent original source documents for Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events, Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSRs), Special Situations  and  other safety-related information within five (5) calendar days.  MAH is responsible for providing an English translation for any source documents that are in another language.

 

If the MAH is responsible for preparing the CIOMS, it will also forward the completed CIOMS to LMI within 5 calendar days.  The following contact information should be used (or such other address, contact person, telephone number, facsimile number or e mail address as may subsequently be specified by LMI):
