Attachment 1

Schedule A
Service Fee

A service fee (the “Service Fee”) equal to the sum of the each of rates specified below for the applicable quarter, multiplied by the total volume of Product purchased by Service Supplier during such quarter, valued at the Customer’s list price at the time the Product was purchased, shall be paid quarterly by Customer to Service Supplier. The Service Fee for each quarter shall be adjusted by deducting from the fee otherwise payable pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the following:

  1. “Inventory Appreciation,” meaning the difference in the value of on hand inventory and on order inventory actually received at the lower price immediately preceding a price increase and the value of such inventory immediately after a price increase for Product.

  2. The net value of any deals or promotions on Product acquired from Customer during the quarter calculated for each unit of Product so acquired as the difference between the Customer’s list price and actual acquisition cost before cash discount, reflecting off-invoice amounts or rebates, less any deals or rebates passed on to Service Supplier’s customers that are different from Service Supplier’s normal pricing to those customers, other than, and excluding, any amounts relating to launches of new Products.

To the extent the value of Inventory Appreciation and any Product deals and promotions exceed the Service Fee payable, prior to any deductions, in a quarter, the amount of such excess value shall be deducted from the Service Fee payable in future quarters.

Service Supplier will invoice Customer for the Service Fee for the applicable calendar quarter within twenty-five (25) days following the end of such calendar quarter. Customer shall pay Service Supplier the invoiced Service Fee in full within thirty (30) days of the date of such invoice in the form of a check or a credit memo. Any amounts that Customer does not dispute by notice to Service Supplier during the thirty (30) day payment period will be deemed to be undisputed and if such amounts are not paid during such thirty (30) day period, the undisputed amounts may be deducted without notice by Service Supplier from any amounts due Customer. Customer agrees to promptly meet with Service Supplier in person or by telephone conference to resolve in good faith any issues relative to disputed fees within sixty (60) days of notice of a dispute and, at Service Supplier’s request, to involve Customer’s senior management in such discussions at the levels requested by Service Supplier.
