3.2.1    Trigger Event for Special [DELETED] Rebate.  If within any [DELETED] during the Term, Amgen [DELETED] by an amount which causes [DELETED] to exceed [DELETED], then Dialysis Center Purchasers shall be entitled to the Special [DELETED] Rebate as calculated in Section 3.2.2 of this Exhibit A. The Special [DELETED] Rebate shall apply to all Qualified Gross Purchases from the date of the related [DELETED] until the date (if any) at which [DELETED] is [DELETED] to or [DELETED] during the Term.

3.3.1    Qualification Criteria.  To receive a Quality Rebate on Qualified Gross Purchases during a [DELETED], Dialysis Center Purchasers must submit all hemoglobin test results for each dialysis patient and the date of each such test, as set forth in Schedule 1 of this Agreement, from at least [DELETED] percent ([DELETED]%) of all Dialysis Center Purchasers in accordance with the submission of data requirement set forth in Section 3.4.1 of this Exhibit A; provided, however, that if such [DELETED] percent ([DELETED]%) threshold is not met in any month due to the inclusion of de novo facilities that have not yet treated patients and/or inactive facilities, Amgen shall

 

Page 6 of 11


AMENDMENT NO. 2 DIALYSIS ORGANIZATION AGREEMENT NO. 920110141

 

 

exclude any such facilities identified by Amgen and Dialysis Center from such month when calculating Dialysis Center’s eligibility for the Quality Rebate at the end of each [DELETED]. For purposes of clarity, the [DELETED] percent ([DELETED]%) will not include Dialysis Center Purchasers that are acute facilities.

3.3.2    Calculation of Average Patient Hemoglobin.    Each calendar month during the Term, Amgen shall determine the average hemoglobin value for each patient of Dialysis Center Purchasers by adding all hemoglobin value test results for each such patient of Dialysis Center Purchasers during each such calendar month based on the Data provided by Dialysis Center to Amgen and dividing the sum by the number of tests for the hemoglobin value of each such patient of Dialysis Center Purchasers performed by the Dialysis Center Purchasers during each such calendar month (the “Individual Patients with Hemoglobin Averages”). Each hemoglobin test for a patient must be derived from blood samples taken using any automated red blood cell counter testing method (e.g. Coulter-counter, Bayer-Technicon, Sysmex, CellDyne, etc.) given immediately prior to any dialysis treatment for such patient.

The Monthly [DELETED] than [DELETED] Percentage for each calendar month during a [DELETED] are then added and divided by [DELETED] ([DELETED]) to determine the “Aggregate [DELETED] Than [DELETED] Percentage” for such [DELETED].

3.3.4    Aggregate [DELETED] Than [DELETED] Percentage Calculation.      Each [DELETED] the Aggregate [DELETED] than [DELETED] Percentage shall be calculated by adding all Individual Patients with Hemoglobin Averages in each calendar month that are less than [DELETED] g/dL and dividing the sum by the total number of Individual Patients with Hemoglobin Averages for that calendar month (the “Monthly [DELETED] Than [DELETED] Percentage”). The Monthly [DELETED] Than [DELETED] Percentage for each calendar month during a [DELETED] are then added and divided by [DELETED] ([DELETED] to determine the “Aggregate [DELETED] Than [DELETED] Percentage” for such [DELETED].

3.3.5    Calculation of Quality Rebate.   For each [DELETED], Amgen shall calculate the amount of Dialysis Center’s Quality Rebate by multiplying Qualified Gross Purchases during such [DELETED] by the applicable Quality Rebate Percentage set forth in the Quality Rebate Table below corresponding to the applicable Total Quality % Score for such [DELETED].

3.3.7    Vesting of Quality Rebate.   The Quality Rebate for a given [DELETED] shall vest on the last day of such [DELETED].

 

  3.4

[DELETED] Rebate.    Dialysis Center shall qualify for the [DELETED] Rebate (the “[DELETED] Rebate”) for a given [DELETED] provided all Dialysis Center Purchasers provide to Amgen the Data set forth in Schedule 1, and provided Dialysis Center meets the requirements described below in this Section 3.4 of this Exhibit A.

3.4.1    Submission of Data Requirement.    Subject to the validity of a Certification as described in Section 4 of this Agreement, Dialysis Center Purchasers must provide to Amgen the Data in a machine readable format acceptable to Amgen (Excel; or text file that is tab delimited, comma delimited, colon delimited or space delimited including a line of column headers identifying the column contents and units, if applicable). The Data files shall contain record counts for each file contained in the data submission; provided, however, that Dialysis Center shall be required to submit such test results only for those dialysis patients whose test results are actually determined by laboratories owned and operated by Dialysis Center.

3.4.2    Calculation of [DELETED] Rebate.    Provided Dialysis Center has fulfilled all requirements described in this Section 3.4 of this Exhibit A, Dialysis Center shall be eligible to receive a [DELETED] percent ([DELETED]%) [DELETED] Rebate payment. The [DELETED] Rebate will be calculated as a percentage of the Qualified Gross Purchases during each [DELETED].

3.4.3    Payment of [DELETED] Rebate.    The Data must be submitted, on a calendar monthly basis by the last day of the following calendar month (or the next business day if such last day is not a business day). If the Data is received after such timeframe for any month within a given [DELETED], the total Qualified Gross Purchases during such month will be excluded from the calculation of the [DELETED] Rebate for that [DELETED]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Amgen receives all required Data from a minimum of [DELETED] percent ([DELETED]%) of all Dialysis Center Purchasers within the time frame referenced above for any calendar month within a given [DELETED], the total Qualified Gross Purchases during such calendar month, will be included in the calculation of the [DELETED] Rebate for that [DELETED]; provided that for purposes of clarity, the [DELETED] percent ([DELETED]%) will not include Dialysis Center Purchasers that are acute facilities. Failure of Dialysis Center to qualify under this Section 3.4 of this Exhibit A during a particular [DELETED] shall not affect Dialysis Center’s eligibility to qualify during any

 

Page 8 of 11


AMENDMENT NO. 2 DIALYSIS ORGANIZATION AGREEMENT NO. 920110141

 

 

other [DELETED], nor shall Dialysis Center’s qualification during a particular [DELETED] automatically result in qualification during any other [DELETED]. If Amgen receives all required Data from less than [DELETED] percent ([DELETED]%) of Dialysis Center Purchasers for any calendar month within a given [DELETED], no Qualified Gross Purchases during such calendar month will be included in the calculation of the [DELETED] Rebate for that [DELETED]; provided, however, that if such [DELETED] percent ([DELETED]%) threshold is not met in any month due to the inclusion of de novo facilities that have not yet treated patients and/or inactive facilities, Amgen shall exclude any such facilities identified by Amgen and Dialysis Center from such month when calculating Dialysis Center’s eligibility for the [DELETED] Rebate at the end of each [DELETED]. However, if Amgen determines that any Dialysis Center Purchaser is consistently not submitting the required Data, Amgen and Dialysis Center will work collaboratively in resolving such inconsistencies. Amgen will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Dialysis Center in writing, no later than fifteen (15) business days after the receipt and acceptance by Amgen of the Data of the identity of all Designated Affiliates and/or Designated Managed Centers, if any, which have failed to meet the Data submission requirements for that month. Amgen reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to exclude any Qualified Gross Purchases of any Designated Affiliate and/or Designated Managed Center that is consistently non-reporting from the calculation of the [DELETED] Rebate for any relevant [DELETED]. Amgen will pay such [DELETED] Rebate within [DELETED] ([DELETED]) days after the end of the corresponding [DELETED] provided Amgen is in receipt of all Data in the form and in the time period described in Section 3.4.1 of this Exhibit A. If the failure of Dialysis Center to deliver any such Data is a result of a Certification not being valid due to Amgen’s failure to satisfy any Certification Requirement (as described in Section 4 of this Agreement) then the [DELETED] Rebate shall still be available to Dialysis Center and payable by Amgen, in which case Dialysis Center shall deliver the Data to Amgen as soon as the Certification becomes valid. Upon a valid Certification being issued, Dialysis Center shall submit to Amgen all Data dating back to the date Dialysis Center stopped submitting the Data to Amgen within thirty (30) days.

3.4.4    Vesting of [DELETED] Rebate.   The [DELETED] Rebate for a given [DELETED] shall vest on the last day of such [DELETED].

 

  3.5

[DELETED] Milestone Rebate.     Dialysis Center shall qualify for the [DELETED] [DELETED] Milestone Rebate (the “[DELETED] Rebate”) for each [DELETED] during the Term provided it meets the requirements described below in this Section 3.5 of this Exhibit A. The purpose of the [DELETED] Rebate is to improve the transmission, quality and validation of all Data sent from Dialysis Center to Amgen, such that the processes used by both parties are more efficient and timely.

3.5.1   Requirements.   For each [DELETED] during the Term the following requirements shall be met to earn the [DELETED] Rebate:

3.5.1.1 Dialysis Center must adhere to the process for Data transmission agreed upon with Amgen following any acquisition of a facility or facilities by Dialysis Center and/or a merger of Dialysis Center.

3.5.1.6   Dialysis Center shall use its best efforts to deliver the Data to Amgen in twenty-five (25) days or less.

3.5.1.7   Dialysis Center shall continue to collaborate with Amgen to develop business processes to re-define limits for out of limits reports and resolve unusual numbers of re-defined out-of-limits Data in submissions.

3.5.1.8   Dialysis Center shall adhere to the agreed upon process for notifying Amgen of new Dialysis Center acquisitions and de novo facilities.

3.5.1.9   To qualify for the [DELETED] Rebate during the [DELETED] and [DELETED] of 2011, Dialysis Center must achieve the goals as set forth in the plan of action attached hereto as Addendum A.

3.5.2   Calculation of [DELETED] Rebate.    Provided Dialysis Center has fulfilled all requirements described in this Section 3.5 of this Exhibit A, Dialysis Center shall be eligible to receive a [DELETED] percent ([DELETED]%) [DELETED] Rebate payment.

3.5.4   Vesting of [DELETED] Rebate.  The [DELETED] Rebate for a given [DELETED] shall vest on the last day of such [DELETED].
