However, Maxor shall not disclose any of PHS’ operating procedures, contents of any of its proposals, pricing methodologies or other confidential or proprietary information to which it may have access to any other party, including providers of correctional health care or potential users of PHS services.

  (f)   In the event PHS (including the entities affiliated with PHS as described above), purchases or otherwise acquires (i) a beneficial ownership interest in, (ii) the assets of, or (iii) merges with, an entity that contracts with other entities for the provision of Pharmacy Services to its correctional clients, PHS will have the right of continuing the acquired entity’s contractual arrangements for the provision of Pharmacy Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PHS will use reasonable business efforts to transition such contracted Pharmacy Services to Maxor as soon as legally and contractually practicable.
2.04   Right of First Offer. In the event PHS desires and has the authority to sell or otherwise divest the pharmacy business it has acquired in a transaction as described under Section 2.03(b) above, PHS shall first deliver. by written notice to Maxor, a bona fide offer stating the price, terms, and conditions of the proposed transaction (the “Offer”). Within a reasonable time period not to exceed fifteen (15) days after Maxor’s receipt of the Offer, Maxor shall notify PHS of whether it has an interest in such transaction in accordance with the terms of the Offer. In the event Maxor expresses such interest in the Offer, Maxor will have thirty (30) days to enter into a definitive agreement with PHS to purchase the pharmacy business. If Maxor does not so notify PHS within the fifteen (15) day times period or enter in a definitive written agreement within the thirty (30) day time period, PHS shall be free to sell or otherwise divest the pharmacy business to any other third party under the same terms and conditions as specified in the Offer or continue operating the pharmacy as described in Section 2.03(b).
PART III -PRICING AND BILLING
3.01   Pricing The price charged to PHS by Maxor will be calculated as follows:
  (a)   Pharmaceuticals under Patient Specific Orders. [            ]*
 
      The Dispensing Fee will be set at [            ]* for the first three month period of the term of this Agreement. After the first three months of the term of this Agreement, the annualized volume for that three month period will be used to set

15


 

* CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.
the fee for the next three month period. The fee will be reset each three month period in a similar manner.
For purposes of calculating the number of Orders to be used in this calculation, all Orders under Sections 3.01 (a) and (b) pursuant to which Maxor earns a fee that is paid by PHS will be used in the calculation.
  (b)   Pharmaceuticals not under Patient Specific Orders. [            ]*
 
  (c)   Profile-Only Orders. PHS will not be charged an additional fee for profile-only Orders in the event the number of Pharmaceutical Orders under Section 3.01(b) above does not exceed [            ]* % of the total number of Pharmaceutical Orders. In the event the [            ]* % threshold described in this Section is exceeded, then for every profile-only Order exceeding [            ]* % of the total Pharmaceutical Orders, a “professional profiling fee” in the amount of [            ]* shall be paid to Maxor.
 
  (d)   Price Escalator. The Dispensing Fee, Handling Fee, professional profiling fee and PBM fee described under this Section 3.01 will be adjusted on each anniversary of the commencement date of the Term this Agreement in accordance with percentage change in the consumer price index (“CPI”) during the immediately preceding one-year period. As used herein CPI shall mean the Consumer Price index-All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) All Items (1982-1984 = 100) as published by the United States Department of Labor, or any comparable successor index, for the metropolitan area in which Maxor’s principal pharmacy supplying PHS is located.
 
  (e)   Medical and Surgical Supplies. [            ]* % plus any applicable sales and use taxes.
 
  (f)   Pharmacy Benefits Management. Except as described below, Back-up Pharmacy charges will be billed to PHS at the amount billed to Maxor by the back-up pharmacy plus a [            ]* per transaction PBM (Pharmacy Benefits Management) fee. In the event a Back-up Pharmacy must be used as a result of Maxor’s failure to deliver a Pharmaceutical to a Facility within the timeframes specified under this Agreement, Maxor will be responsible for the Back-up Pharmacy invoice amount for those Pharmaceuticals to the extent such invoice amount exceeds the amount PHS would have paid for the Pharmaceuticals if purchased from Maxor in accordance with the pricing described under Section 3.02(a)-(c) above. In such instances, Maxor will invoice PHS the amount which would have been charged as calculated in accordance with Sections 3.02(a)-(c) above and not the amount charged by the Back-up Pharmacy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will Maxor be responsible for Back-up Pharmacy invoice amounts in the event the delay filling and delivering the medication was not the result of Maxor’s actions or inactions.

16


 

  (g)   Return of Outdated and Unusable Pharmaceuticals. Maxor shall arrange, at its cost, for the return of outdated and/or unusable Pharmaceuticals and destroy such Pharmaceuticals in accordance with Applicable Laws.
3.02   Unless otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, the amounts paid by PHS under the terms Invoice Cost, AAC, Dispensing Fee, Handling Fee, PBM fee, professional profiling fees and any applicable sales and use taxes represent total payment for the Pharmacy Services. Additional fees for other services not contemplated by this Agreement will be agreed to in writing by the Parties prior to the commencement of such services.
3.03   In all cases, the net price at which Pharmaceuticals and Medical and Surgical Supplies are sold to PHS will be equal to or better than the net price charged to any customer of Maxor that is a competitor of PHS (including university systems) in the area of correctional health services. The net price would include the cost of the item and the applicable fee. It would also include any other rebate or other payment or credit given to the customer even if not shown on the face of the invoice to the customer. The foregoing shall not apply to the direct sale of Pharmaceuticals or Medical Supplies by Maxor to public correctional agencies.
3.04   Audit. PHS, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to audit all books and records of Maxor reasonably related to the provision of services hereunder, including but not limited to those books and records relating to Invoice Cost or Actual Acquisition Cost and 8.02 (e) annually. The audit can include a recalculation of the cost using manual or electronic means. Any such audit shall be performed during normal business hours at Maxor’s offices and scheduled by mutual agreement at least one month in advance. The audit may be conducted by PHS personnel and/or by consultants or auditors retained by PHS on its behalf. Maxor regards the data made the subject of any such audit as “Confidential Information.” PHS agrees to keep all information gathered, acquired or generated during or from any such audit confidential.
3.05   Billing. Maxor will bill PHS within five (5) days following month-end for shipments made during the month, net of credit for any returns. Adjustments to prior invoices shall be reflected in the next invoicing cycle or as soon as possible thereafter. The invoice will be in a form acceptable to PHS to enable it to properly invoice its Clients. Billing information will also be made available in detail tables electronically by PHS Client Agreement in a manner acceptable to bill its Clients. In addition, Maxor will send to PHS electronic copies of the individual packing slips (in Excel format or other agreed upon format) sent with shipped Orders on a daily basis beginning as soon as practicable, but no later than July 1, 2007.

Maxor agrees that all Patient Information provided to Maxor by PHS belongs exclusively to the Clients and that PHS is only a custodian of the Patient Information.

  (c)   Each party shall be responsible for liabilities arising from errors or omissions made by it in the transmission of information to the other party, and each party shall be entitled to assume the accuracy of all information transmitted to it by the other party, and to rely on such information, for all purposes under this Agreement.
7.02   Indemnified Parties. Maxor and PHS each shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other and its divisions, its affiliates and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against (a) any and all liabilities, costs, judgments, penalties, expenses, obligations, losses, or damages resulting from claims and actions made by a Third Party, including, but not limited to, any obligation or liability which may be imposed upon any of the Indemnified Parties as a matter of law, constituting, or in any way based upon, resulting from or arising out of (i) any material breach by Maxor or PHS, as applicable, of any agreement or covenant made by such party in this Agreement or (ii) caused by the negligent, reckless or intentional acts or omissions of Maxor or PHS, and (b) any cost or expense (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses) reasonably incurred by any of the Indemnified Parties (and their counsel) in investigating, preparing for, defending against or otherwise taking any action in connection with any of the foregoing (collectively “Damages”).

23


 

7.03   Indemnified Claims. If any claim, demand, assessment or liability, or cost incidental thereto (collectively, an “Indemnified Claim”), is asserted against an Indemnified Party in respect of which the Indemnified Party proposes to demand indemnification from the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.02, such Indemnified Party will promptly notify Maxor or PHS as the case may be (the “Indemnifying Party”), in writing. No failure of an Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party unless and to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. Such Indemnified Party will accord the Indemnifying Party the opportunity to assume entire control of the defense using counsel of its own choice, and compromise or settle any such Indemnified Claim through its own counsel and at its own expense; provided that no such compromise or settlement shall include any non-monetary terms and conditions applicable to such Indemnified Party without the consent of the Indemnified Party; and provided further, that the Indemnified Parties may retain their own counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense (the Indemnifying Party shall only be liable for the cost of one such counsel for all Indemnified Parties) if (i) the Indemnifying Party, within thirty (30) days after notice of any Indemnified Claim, fails to assume the defense of such Indemnified Claim or (ii) the representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party would, in the reasonable judgment of the parties, be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests between them. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume entire control of the defense, compromise or settlement of such Indemnified Claim, the Indemnified Party may compromise or settle any such Indemnified Claim. Maxor and PHS each agree to cooperate fully with respect to the defense of any Indemnified Claim.

    situation may require, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had been included herein as so modified in scope or application, or had not been included herein, as the case may be, it being the stated intention of the Parties that had they known of such invalidity or unenforceability at the time of entering into this Agreement, they would have nevertheless contracted upon the terms contained herein, either excluding such provisions, or including such provisions only to the maximum scope and application permitted by law, as the case may be.
