BCI hereby acknowledges that Cardinal Health will not conduct a legal review of the materials prepared for and intended for use 6 in the Medical Education Services and/or related materials and that Cardinal Health is relying solely on BCI to make certain that such materials comply with all Applicable Laws and Medical Education Standards. BCI personnel who manage Medical Education Services shall be solely responsible for insuring that BCI's counsel have an opportunity to review all legal issues and matters as BCI may deem appropriate related to the Medical Education Services, and shall, upon request, inform Cardinal Health of the results of same review either orally or in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cardinal Health shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the Medical Education Services are performed in a manner consistent with Medical Education Standards and that it shall not deviate from the scope and content of the Materials prepared by BCI and intended for use in the performance of the Medical Education Services. 4.4 Additional Medical Education Services. The Parties contemplate that Cardinal Health may perform additional Medical Education Services for BCI relating to the Product that are not part of the Cardinal Promotional Spend. In such cases, the Parties shall agree in writing on the scope of work to be performed, additional or modified terms, and discounted payment for such work. Nothing in this Section 4.4 or in Article 4 or the remainder of this Agreement obliges either Party to enter into negotiations with respect to such an additional agreement, nor do the parties contemplate that such an additional agreement shall have any effect on the other rights or obligations of the parties under this Agreement. 4.5 Pricing and Payment Terms. In the event that BCI engages Cardinal Health to provide Medical Education Services that are not included in the Cardinal Promotional Spend, the discounted pricing and payment terms for such Medical Education Services shall be as set forth in proposals mutually agreed to by the Parties in writing and shall include the following, unless otherwise agreed to by BCI and Cardinal Health: (a) Direct Expenses. The Direct Expenses set forth in any proposal for Medical Education Services represent a good faith estimate of Direct Expenses to be incurred by Cardinal Health in the performance of Medical Education Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BCI shall reimburse Cardinal Health for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (the "Direct Expenses") actually incurred by Cardinal Health in the performance of the Medical Education Services whether or not such Direct Expenses actually exceed the amount estimated in good faith in any proposal. Direct Expense items shall include, but not be limited to, the following: (1) Travel (including mileage at the IRS approved rate of 36.5 cents per mile, if travel is by car), living expenses when authorized by BCI, and long-distance telephone charges incurred in the conduct of BCI's business; (2) Net Cost of postage, express, courier, overnight and freight on all shipments of materials, including, but not limited to proofs, artwork, videotapes, slides, props, transcriptions, computer disks, etc., as appropriate to the timeline and delivery schedule agreed to by the Parties; (3) Net Cost of unusual charges incurred at the special request of BCI or if necessary to the rendering of special or abnormal service, or to meet emergencies, or departure from the regular routine of business. These charges must be specified in writing (may be 7 handwritten at the scene) and signed off by BCI at the correct signing level or thereby delegated to by their supervisor; and (4) Reimbursement for the Net Cost of freelance labor use. BCI shall not be required to reimburse Cardinal Health for (i) facsimile, telephone and postage charges incurred in the normal conduct of business; and (ii) unapproved Cardinal Health-initiated travel. (b) Other Expenses. In addition to those items set forth in a proposal for Medical Education Services or any other proposal, BCI shall also reimburse Cardinal Health for certain costs for enduring materials and related services, including but not limited to research authorized by BCI and incurred through the efforts of Cardinal Health on behalf of BCI (the "Other Expenses"). (c) Discounts. Cardinal Health shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all prompt payment, volume, frequency or other similar discounts from media and suppliers from which it makes purchases of Direct Expenses in the performance of the Medical Education Services hereunder. (d) Vendor/Cardinal Health Affiliation. In the event that any Medical Education Services are to be performed or materials purchased from a supplier in which Cardinal Health or Cardinal Health personnel have any financial interest, disclosure of the relationship shall be made to BCI and Cardinal Health shall obtain BCI's prior approval of the engagement of or purchase from such supplier. (e) Advance Payment for Certain Expenses. In accordance with the principle that Cardinal Health is not expected to finance Direct Expenses and Other Expenses, BCI will be billed and invoices will be paid so that Cardinal Health will have such funds in hand before payment is due to all third party suppliers, including, but not limited to airlines, hotels, suppliers of goods and services purchased on behalf of BCI, at BCI's request, honoraria, and any other substantial (more than $1,000) expenses. All invoices for Direct Expenses and Other Expenses are payable to Cardinal Health within (30) days after receipt by BCI unless otherwise mutually agreed. 4.6 Audits. A certified public accounting firm of BCI's choice and acceptable to Cardinal Health may conduct an annual audit of Cardinal Health's books, records and accounts pertaining only to the Medical Education Services undertaken for BCI pursuant to this Agreement and shall certify that such records are kept in accordance with generally accepted industry standards consistently applied and that the allocation of fees hours to BCI or the Cardinal Promotional Spend are accurate and as provided in this Agreement and the proposal agreed upon by the Parties. ARTICLE 5 CONTRACT SALES SERVICES 8 5.1 Furnishing Representatives. Cardinal Health shall recruit and hire Representatives in such numbers as are set forth on Schedule 5.1 of this Agreement to engage in Product Detail activities to Target Physicians in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the attached Schedules. In the event that BCI engages Cardinal Health to provide Contract Sales Services at levels greater than those specified on Schedule 5.1, the discounted pricing and payment terms for such additional Contract Sales Services ("Additional CSO Services") shall be as set forth in proposals mutually agreed to by the Parties in writing which incorporate this Agreement by reference. 5.2 Assignment of Representatives. Cardinal Health shall assign Representatives for the Target Physicians in such numbers and in such territories as shall be agreed upon by the JCC. Each Representative shall make Product Details on his or her assigned Target Physicians based on the general direction given by the JCC. The duties of such Representatives shall be exclusively to Detail the Products and perform other related activities deemed necessary for the establishment and maintenance of new and existing customers for the Products. All Product Details shall be undertaken consistent with the Medical Education Standards. 5.3 Scope of Activities. Each of the Parties shall have the specific duties set forth in Schedule 5.3, as applicable, in connection with the Contract Sales Services. 5.4 Orders for Products. BCI shall be solely responsible for establishing the terms and conditions of the sale of the Products to any third party customers, including without limitation, the price at which the Products will be sold, whether sales of the Products will be subject to any discounts, the method of distribution of the Products, and whether any credit will be granted or refused in connection with the sale or return of any Product. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, BCI or its agent shall be exclusively responsible for accepting and filling all purchase orders for the Products, billing and returns for the Products, and all other activities in connection with the sale and delivery of the Products, other than Detailing. If Cardinal Health or the Representatives receive an order for the Products, they shall immediately transmit such order to BCI for further handling and communications with the submitter of the order, including acceptance or rejection, which shall be in BCI's sole discretion. 5.5 Representatives' Activity. Subject to BCI's obligations and representations and warranties in this Agreement, any negligent or wrongful act or omission on the part of the Representatives (both individually and as a group) that occur during the Term of this Agreement and that arise during the course and within the scope of their employment with Cardinal Health pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of Cardinal Health; provided, however, that any acts or omissions of the Representatives pursuant to the specific direction, control or supervision of BCI or its employees or agents (other than Cardinal Health) shall not be deemed to be negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of Cardinal Health. Each party shall notify the other in writing as promptly as practicable of any such material alleged negligent or wrongful acts or omissions on the part of the Representatives of which it becomes aware along with a plan to remedy such acts or omissions, and BCI shall provide Cardinal Health with a reasonable opportunity to remedy such acts or omissions, and if indicated, to replace the involved Representatives. 9 5.6 Vacancies/Turnover. In the event of a Representative vacancy due to resignation, reassignment or termination of a Representative, Cardinal Health shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to fill any such vacancy within an eight (8) week period. Expenses for filling such vacancy shall be included in the cost of the Contract Sales Services as set forth in Schedule 5.1. In addition, if BCI desires to interview any candidates, BCI shall bear its own cost of attending any final interview conducted by Cardinal Health or the costs of any separate interview arranged for by BCI. 5.7 BCI's Termination, Removal, or Hiring of Representatives. (a) BCI agrees not to hire any Representative, directly or indirectly, during the first twelve months of the Term of this Agreement unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 14.2(b) (due to uncured breach by Cardinal Health), Section 14.2(e), Section 14.4(b), Section 14.5 or BCI buys out the Contract Sales Service portion of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.7(c). BCI and Cardinal Health acknowledge that Cardinal Health would suffer damages upon breach of this Section and such damages would be difficult to ascertain and are not susceptible of ready proof. As a result, the Parties agree that BCI shall pay Cardinal Health liquidated damages of $250,000 per representative and $350,000 per Manager hired by BCI in violation of this Section. (b) If BCI requests termination or removal from the Program of any Representative and such Representative is in fact so terminated or removed by Cardinal Health, then BCI shall be responsible for severance and related expenses for each such Representative so terminated or removed unless (for a reason other than BCI's negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement) such termination or removal is (i) pursuant to the last sentence of Section 5.5, (ii) due to a failure of the Representative to comply with the obligations set forth in Schedule 5.3, (iii) due to such Representative's failure to adequately achieve the performance goals of the Program, or (iv) failure to comply with all Applicable Laws and any BCI Detailing requirements which are consistent with labeled indications and the guidelines promulgated by PhRMA and the OIG.. Cardinal Health shall fill any vacancy created by BCI's hiring of Representatives or Managers pursuant to this Section as provided in Section 5.6. BCI agrees that it will not, for a period of eighteen (18) months following termination or removal of a Representative or Manager in accordance with this Section, hire, retain or otherwise solicit, directly or indirectly, any such Representative or Manager. (c) BCI shall have the right to buy out the Contract Sales Services portion of this Agreement by hiring the Representatives as its own employees and paying to Cardinal Health the Contract Sales Services Buyout Fee set forth in Schedule 5.7(c). BCI shall provide Cardinal Health at least ninety (90) days notice of a buy out in accordance with this Section. In the event that this option is exercised and BCI buys out the Contract Sales Services portion of this Agreement, the applicable Co Promote fee will be reduced in accordance with Schedule 6.1. (d) During the six (6) month period immediately prior to the end of the Term, BCI shall identify all those Representatives BCI desires to hire (collectively, the "Targeted Employees") after the completion of the Term and to negotiate with any Targeted Employee 10 concerning the terms on which BCI might hire that Targeted Employee. At the end of the Term, BCI shall have a period of thirty (30) days (the "Employee Selection Period") to hire some or all of the Targeted Employees. Cardinal Health agrees not to interfere with BCI's solicitation and hiring of the Targeted Employees prior to or during the Employee Selection Period, and Cardinal Health will assist BCI in the transition of Targeted Employees from Cardinal Health to BCI. (e) For a period of twelve (12) months after the expiration of the Employee Selection Period: (i) BCI shall not hire or retain as an employee or as agent or independent contractor any Representatives that are not Targeted Employees or are not actually hired by BCI during the Employee Selection Period, and (iii) BCI agrees that it will not, for a period of twelve months following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, hire, retain or otherwise solicit any Manager of Cardinal Health to be an employee either of BCI or any of its Affiliates. Cardinal Health will not solicit for hire as an employee, agent or independent contractor any Representative hired by BCI if such hiring is allowed by this Section 5.7. 5.8 No BCI Benefits. Employees of Cardinal Health and Representatives are not eligible to participate in any benefits programs or sales bonuses offered by BCI to its employees, or in any pension plans, profit sharing plans, insurance plans or any other employee benefit plans offered from time to time by BCI to its employees, provided that the Representatives shall be eligible to participate in BCI sales contests if so requested by BCI and approved by Cardinal Health. Cardinal Health acknowledges and agrees that BCI does not, and will not, maintain or procure any worker's compensation or unemployment compensation insurance for or on behalf of the Representatives while they are employees of Cardinal Health. Cardinal Health acknowledges and agrees that it shall be solely responsible for paying all salaries, wages, benefits, bonuses, pension plans, profit sharing plans and other compensation or benefits which its employees (including Representatives) may be entitled to receive in connection with the performance of the services hereunder. ARTICLE 6 FEES 6.1 Co-Promote Fee. In further consideration of Cardinal Health's efforts and performance hereunder, BCI shall pay Cardinal Health a variable percentage of all Quarterly Net Sales of the Product during each Fiscal Quarter, as such percentages are set forth in Schedule 6.1 ("Co-Promote Fee") during the Term of this Agreement. In the event BCI buys out the Contract Sales Service portion of this Agreement as provided in Section 5.7(c), BCI shall pay a reduced Co-Promote Fee as provided in Schedule 6.1. 6.2 Product Supply. BCI shall use reasonable commercial efforts to maintain an adequate level of inventory to supply orders for Product from third party customers; provided, however, that BCI shall not be responsible to the extent any failure to maintain inventory results from a failure of Cardinal Health to provide services in accordance with the terms of a separate manufacturing, packaging, analytical, distribution or logistics agreement which are necessary to release finished Product for commercial sale. 11 6.3 Payment. BCI shall pay the Co-Promote Fee to Cardinal Health within forty-five (45) days following end of each Fiscal Quarter ("Co-Promote Payment"). 6.4 Audit. BCI shall include with each Co-Promote Payment a statement setting forth in reasonable detail its calculation of the Co-Promote Payment for the period covered by such Co-Promote Payment along with a reconciliation detailing the reasons for any differences between the Quarterly Net Sales reported to Cardinal Health and the revenue reported in BCI's quarterly SEC 10Q filings. Cardinal Health or its designee shall be entitled, upon reasonable advance notice to BCI, to audit BCI's books and records relating to the Quarterly Net Sales for any one or more payments periods under this Agreement. Cardinal Health and BCI will attempt in good faith to settle any dispute within thirty (30) days after Cardinal Health's delivery of audit findings to BCI. If such audit reveals that there is an underpayment of any amounts owed to Cardinal Health, BCI shall pay such amounts in full within ten (10) days of such determination, and if such amount is in excess of ten percent (10%) or more of the amount paid by BCI for any period, BCI shall reimburse Cardinal Health for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in performing such audit. Cardinal Health's right to perform an audit in accordance with this Section shall continue for a period of two years following termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason. 6.5 Price Normalization. BCI acknowledges that (i) the current wholesale acquisition cost (WAC) for the 0.5 mcg Product is $*** per tablet and the current WAC for the 2.5 mcg product is $*** and (ii) this pricing arrangement may lead to prescriptions of the 2.5 mcg Product where a higher daily/weekly dosage is required. As a result, Cardinal Health would not realize the full value of the Co-Promote Fee for sales of Product under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 6.1, in order to account for this pricing arrangement, the Co-Promote fee shall be determined in accordance with (a) the row entitled "Co Promote Fee % (if price normalization applies)" as set forth in Schedule 6.1 if the Contract Sales Services portion of this Agreement is still in effect or (b) the row entitled "Co Promote Fee % after Contract Sales Service Buy Out (if price normalization applies)" as set forth in Schedule 6.1 if the Contract Sales Services portion of this Agreement has been bought out, for each Fiscal Quarter in which the actual volume of capsules of the Hectorol 2.5 mcg product sold in such Fiscal Quarter exceed by ***% or more the baseline forecast projected for that Fiscal Quarter as set forth on Schedule 6.1. 6.6 Sales, Use and Excise Taxes. If any state or local government or other taxing authority determines that sales, use or excise Taxes ("Taxes") are applicable to any Cardinal Health services provided under this Agreement which are not paid for by Cardinal Health as part of the Cardinal Promotional Spend, BCI shall reimburse Cardinal Health for any such Taxes paid by Cardinal Health to the appropriate taxing authorities. 6.7 Past Due Amounts. BCI's failure to timely make any payment to Cardinal Health under this Agreement (including without limitation, this Article and Articles 4 and 5) will constitute a material breach of this Agreement by BCI. All amounts owing by BCI to Cardinal Health pursuant to this Agreement that are not timely paid by BCI will bear interest from the due date, at the lower of (i) one and one-half percent per month, or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law. 12 6.8 Setoff. Without limiting Cardinal Health's rights under law or in equity, Cardinal Health and its affiliates, parent or related entities, collectively or individually, may exercise a right of set-off against any and all amounts due to Cardinal Health from BCI. For purposes of this Section 6.8, Cardinal Health, its affiliates, parent or related entities shall be deemed to be a single creditor. ARTICLE 7 REGULATORY MATTERS 7.1 Government Agencies. All communications with Regulatory Authorities, including the FDA, concerning the Products shall be the sole responsibility of BCI. Cardinal Health shall assist BCI with respect to such communications with Regulatory Authorities to the extent requested by BCI. Cardinal Health shall use its best efforts to provide BCI with any documents or information reasonably requested by BCI for purposes of responding to any communications with Regulatory Authorities within 72 hours of BCI's request. Each party shall promptly notify the other party of any communication it receives from Regulatory Authorities concerning the Products or any services furnished under this Agreement. 7.2 Maintenance of Records. Cardinal Health and BCI each agree that throughout the Term of this Agreement and for a period of six years after the termination of this Agreement, each party will maintain records and otherwise establish procedures to assure compliance with all Applicable Laws which relate to the Detailing and marketing of the Products.

Each Representative shall have a valid driver's license for purposes of performing his/her obligations under this Agreement.

BCI may, at its sole cost and expense, participate with Cardinal Health in the interviewing of Representatives, and Cardinal Health shall not hire any Representative without the prior approval of BCI; provided, however, that if Cardinal Health rejects an applicant for Representative and gives written notice thereof to BCI and thereafter Cardinal Health hires such applicant at the request of BCI, BCI shall indemnify for and hold Cardinal Health harmless from any Damages arising as a result of such Representative's wrongful or negligent acts or omissions. 2. Cardinal Health shall have sole and exclusive authority to discipline or terminate the employment of Representatives. BCI may request that a Representative be terminated or reassigned at any time, provided that such termination or reassignment is consistent with Cardinal Health policies and procedures and would not be in violation of any Applicable Laws. Cardinal Health shall comply with such request; provided that such action complies with Applicable Laws and is in accordance with Cardinal Health's policies and procedures, as determined by Cardinal Health's human resources manager. In the event Cardinal Health determines that its policies and procedures or Applicable Laws prohibit the termination or reassignment of any Representative so requested by BCI, it shall notify BCI of such determination and submit a corrective action plan for BCI approval. 3. Cardinal Health shall cause each Representative to attend and successfully complete the Training Program conducted by BCI for the Products prior to participating in the Contract Sales Services.

38 SCHEDULE 14.4(b) TERMINATION FEE "Termination Fee" shall be calculated as follows: (i) If BCI hires the Representatives in accordance with this Agreement, the Termination Fee shall include an amount equal to the Contract Sales Force Buyout Fee set forth on Schedule 5.7(c) based on the year of termination but if BCI chooses not to hire the Representatives, the Termination Fee shall include an amount that is thirty-three (33%) of the aggregate yearly base salaries (understood to be exclusive of benefits and bonuses) of all the Representatives provided by Cardinal Health under this Agreement and that are still engaged by Cardinal Health at the time of such termination; (ii) The Book Value for the sales force automation upgrade, as set forth on Schedule 5.1; plus (iii) An amount determined on an annualized basis that is equal to: (a) the Cardinal Promotional Spend each fiscal year through the date of termination of this Agreement, plus (b) an amount equal to a fifteen percent (15%) annualized return of the Cardinal Promotional Spend each fiscal year through the date of termination of this Agreement, less (c) the total Co-Promote Fees actually paid by BCI each fiscal year through the date of termination of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount is determined on an annualized basis by calculating (a) plus (b) less (c) separately on a stand-alone basis for each fiscal year up to, and including, the fiscal year that includes the date of termination of this Agreement. Amounts due for any fiscal year in which the sum of (a) and (b) is more than the Co-Promote Fees actually paid in that fiscal year shall not be offset in any way by the result for any fiscal year in which the sum of (a) and (b) is less than Co-Promote Fees actually paid in that fiscal year.
