Wholesaler shall have no obligation to maintain the minimum Inventory Level of a particular Product if such Product is unavailable from FHPC.

 

3.                                       Paragraph 2.5 (Price Increases) shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

Price Increase.

 

(a)       In the event, FHPC institutes a New Price for any Product and provided  Wholesaler has maintained the Inventory Levels set forth in this Agreement as determined by FHPC,  then Wholesaler shall have the right to purchase such Product at its Old Price in an amount equal to:

 

(b)       Wholesaler’s average weekly Customary Practice of Product over the preceding three (3) months less  purchases made by Customers that receive Federal Statutory Pricing(1) ( collectively “Federal Customers”);

effective date of a New Price or FHPC’s receipt of Wholesaler’s Aggregate Inventory as provided in the previous sentence, FHPC shall notify Wholesaler of the amount of Eligible Product (by NDC number) it may purchase. Within ten (10) days after receipt of such notification, Wholesaler shall send any and all purchase orders for Eligible Product by overnight express delivery or fax to the Attention of Customer Service. Wholesaler shall consult with FHPC to develop mutually acceptable shipping schedules for the Eligible Product.

 

(b)       All Products (other than Eligible Product) purchased or ordered by Wholesaler after the effective date of a New Price shall be sold and purchased at the New Price.

 

(c)        When determining Eligible Product under this section, Products discontinued by FHPC during the term of this Agreement and subsequently replaced by another Product within the same Product line and drug class shall have the same Customary Practice (less Federal Customer purchases, if applicable) history as the discontinued Product.

 

(d)       Inventory Reports shall include sufficient data so that FHPC can determine and evaluate the Aggregate Inventory, purchases, returns and chargebacks made by Federal Customers.

 

4.                                       Paragraph 2.6 (Chargebacks) shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following paragraph.

 

Returns.   FHPC shall credit Wholesaler current Wholesaler Acquisition Cost (WAC) less #### ####### (##) for returns on Product except for Federal Customers which shall receive a credit for the purchase price.  Except for the foregoing, all other terms governing Product returns shall be in accordance with FHPC Return Goods Policy set forth in Exhibit B.

 

Any capitalized terms used in this Amendment, which are not otherwise defined herein, shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.  All other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and unless as otherwise modified herein, shall also apply to the subject matter of this Amendment.  In the event there is any inconsistency or conflict between the provisions in this Amendment and those in the Agreement, the provisions in this Amendment shall supersede and control.
