This Amendment No. 3 to Sales Representative Agreement is made and entered into effective as of September 15, 2003 by and between OrthoLogic Corp., a Delaware corporation, with its principal place of business at 1275 West Washington Street, Tempe, AZ 85281 (“OrthoLogic”), and DePuy AcroMed, Inc., an Ohio corporation, with its principal place of business at 325 Paramount Drive, Raynham, MA 02767 (“DePuy AcroMed”).

 

WHEREAS, OrthoLogic and DePuy AcroMed are parties to a Sales Representative Agreement, dated August 18, 2000, as amended on August 1, 2001 and March 1, 2002  (as amended, the “Agreement”), under which OrthoLogic appointed DePuy AcroMed as its exclusive sales representative to sell OrthoLogic’s SpinaLogic bone growth stimulation product, as set forth in Section 1.8 of the Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to alter their obligations under the Agreement so that OrthoLogic will be responsible for following up with prescribing physicians to obtain certain supporting documentation needed for sales of the Products;

 

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to change the commission rate to be paid to DePuy AcroMed on the sales of Products to reflect the decrease in the obligations of DePuy AcroMed under the Agreement.

In addition, from and after January 1, 2004, OrthoLogic will be responsible for obtaining the necessary supporting documents for billing as provided in Section 8.1 hereof.

 

3.                                       The first sentence of Section 5.6 of the Agreement is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

invoice purchasers and third-party payers in connection with the sale of Products, and such manufacture, storage, sales, collection of supporting documents, delivery, patient fitting and invoices shall be undertaken and effected in a manner that does not violate any applicable federal, state or foreign laws and regulations, and otherwise, in a manner that is in accordance with the provisions of OrthoLogic’s Corporate Compliance Program.

 

4.                                       The first sentence of Section 6.9 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated, effective January 1, 2004, to read in its entirety as follows:

In addition, there is added at the end of Section 8.1 the following language:

 

It is understood that from time to time OrthoLogic may elect to employ one or more independent contractors to perform portions of its obligations under this Agreement as deemed appropriate by OrthoLogic, including any required follow up with prescribing physicians to obtain supporting documents, and that such independent contractors shall be acting solely on behalf of OrthoLogic when obtaining such supporting documents even though such independent contractors may be persons or entities with which or whom DePuy also has an independent contractor relationship, including Distributors.
