I. Preamble

Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly) hereby enters into this Corporate Integrity Agreement (CIA) with the Office of Inspector General (OIG) of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to promote compliance with the statutes, regulations, and written directives of Medicare, Medicaid, and all other Federal health care programs (as defined in 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b(f)) (Federal health care program requirements) and with the statutes, regulations, and written directives of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA requirements). Contemporaneously with this CIA, Lilly is entering into a Settlement Agreement with the United States. Lilly will also enter into settlement agreements with various States (State Settlement Agreement and Release) and Lilly’s agreement to this CIA is a condition precedent to those agreements.

Prior to the Effective Date of this CIA (as defined below), Lilly established a voluntary compliance program applicable to all Lilly employees (Compliance Program). Lilly’s Compliance Program includes a Chief Compliance Officer who reports directly to the Board of Directors and the CEO, and a Compliance Committee. The Compliance Program also includes a Code of Conduct (known as “The Red Book”) applicable to all employees that is regularly reviewed and disseminated, written policies and procedures, educational and training initiatives, a Disclosure Program that allows for the confidential disclosure and investigation of potential compliance violations and appropriate disciplinary procedures, and regular monitoring and internal auditing procedures.

Lilly shall continue its Compliance Program throughout the term of this CIA and shall do so in accordance with the terms set forth below. Lilly may modify its Compliance Program as appropriate, but, at a minimum, Lilly shall ensure that during the term of this CIA, it shall comply with the obligations set forth herein.

D. Review Procedures.

1. General Description.

a. Engagement of Independent Review Organization. Within 90 days after the Effective Date, Lilly shall engage an entity (or entities), such as an accounting, auditing, or consulting firm (hereinafter “Independent Review Organization” or “IRO”), to perform reviews to assist Lilly in assessing and evaluating its Promotional and Product Services Related Functions. The applicable requirements relating to the IRO are outlined in Appendix A to this CIA, which is incorporated by reference.

Each IRO engaged by Lilly shall have expertise in applicable Federal health care program and FDA requirements as may be appropriate to the Review for which the IRO is retained. Each IRO shall assess, along with Lilly, whether it can perform the engagement in a professionally independent and objective fashion, as appropriate to the nature of the review, taking into account any other business relationships or other engagements that may exist.

The IRO(s) shall conduct reviews that assess Lilly’s systems, processes, policies, procedures, and practices relating to Promotional and Product Services Related Functions (Promotional and Product Services Reviews).

b. Frequency and Brief Description of Reviews. As set forth more fully in Appendix B, the Promotional and Product Services Review shall consist of two components — a Systems Review and a Transactions Review. The Systems Review shall assess Lilly’s systems, processes, policies, and procedures relating to Promotional and Product Services Related Functions. If there are no material changes in Lilly’s systems, processes, policies, and procedures relating to Promotional and Product Services Related Functions, the Promotional and Product Services Systems Review shall be performed for the periods covering the first and fourth Reporting Periods. If Lilly materially changes its systems, processes, policies, and procedures relating to Promotional and Product Services Related Functions, the IRO shall perform a Systems Review for the

Corporate Integrity Agreement
Eli Lilly Company

Reporting Period in which such changes were made in addition to conducting the Systems Review for the first and fourth Reporting Periods.

The Promotional and Product Services Transactions Review shall be performed annually and shall cover each of the five Reporting Periods. The IRO(s) shall perform all components of each annual Transaction Review. As set forth more fully in Appendix B, the Transactions Review shall include several components, including a review relating to inquiries included in Lilly’s TLAC Database, a review of Lilly’s Call Plan Assessments, a review of Sampling Events, and a review of records relating to a sample of the Payments that are reported by Lilly pursuant to Section III.M below. In addition, each Transactions Review shall also include a review of up to three additional areas or practices of Lilly identified by the OIG in its discretion (hereafter “Additional Items”.)

For purposes of identifying the Additional Items to be included in the Transactions Review for a particular Reporting Period, the OIG will consult with Lilly and may consider internal audit work conducted by Lilly and/or the Lilly Compliance Monitoring Program, Lilly’s Government Reimbursed Product portfolio, the nature and scope of Lilly’s promotional practices and arrangements with HCPs and HCIs, and other information known to it.

As set forth more fully in Section III.E of Appendix B, Lilly may propose to the OIG that its internal audit(s) be partially substituted for one or more of the Additional Items that would otherwise be reviewed by the IRO as part of the Transactions Review. The OIG retains sole discretion over whether, and in what manner, to allow Lilly’s internal audit work to be substituted for a portion of the Additional Items review conducted by the IRO.

The OIG shall notify Lilly of the nature and scope of the IRO review for each of the Additional Items not later than 120 days prior to the end of each Reporting Period. Prior to undertaking the review of the Additional Items, the IRO and/or Lilly shall submit an audit work

Corporate Integrity Agreement
Eli Lilly Company

plan to the OIG for approval and the IRO shall conduct the review of the Additional Items based on a work plan approved by the OIG.

c. Retention of Records. The IRO and Lilly shall retain and make available to OIG, upon request, all work papers, supporting documentation, correspondence, and draft reports (those exchanged between the IRO and Lilly) related to the reviews.

2. IRO Review Reports. The IRO(s) shall prepare a report (or reports) based upon each Review performed. The information and content to be included in the report is described in Appendix B, which is incorporated by reference.

3. Validation Review. In the event OIG has reason to believe that: (a) any IRO Review fails to conform to the requirements of this CIA; or (b) the IRO’s findings or Review results are inaccurate, OIG may, at its sole discretion, conduct its own review to determine whether the applicable IRO Review complied with the requirements of the CIA and/or the findings or Review results are inaccurate (Validation Review). Lilly shall pay for the reasonable cost of any such review performed by OIG or any of its designated agents. Any Validation Review of Reports submitted as part of Lilly’s final Annual Report shall be initiated no later than one year after Lilly’s final submission (as described in Section II) is received by OIG.

Prior to initiating a Validation Review, OIG shall notify Lilly of its intent to do so and provide a written explanation of why OIG believes such a review is necessary. To resolve any concerns raised by OIG, Lilly may request a meeting with OIG to: (a) discuss the results of any Review submissions or findings; (b) present any additional information to clarify the results of the applicable Review or to correct the inaccuracy of the Review; and/or (c) propose alternatives to the proposed Validation Review. Lilly agrees to provide any additional information as may be requested by OIG under this Section III.D.3 in an expedited manner. OIG will attempt in good faith to resolve any Review issues with Lilly prior to conducting a Validation Review. However, the final determination as to whether or not to proceed with a Validation Review shall be made at the sole discretion of OIG.

4. Independence and Objectivity Certification. The IRO shall include in its report(s) to Lilly a certification or sworn affidavit that it has evaluated its professional independence and objectivity, as appropriate to the nature of the engagement, with regard

Corporate Integrity Agreement

to the applicable Review and that it has concluded that it is, in fact, independent and objective.

E. Disclosure Program.

Lilly represents that it has a disclosure program designed to facilitate communications relating to compliance with Federal health care program and FDA requirements and Lilly’s policies (the “Disclosure Program”). During the term of the CIA, Lilly shall maintain a Disclosure Program that includes a mechanism (a toll-free compliance telephone line and/ or on-line electronic reporting) to enable individuals to disclose, to the Chief Compliance Officer or some other person who is not in the disclosing individual’s chain of command, any identified issues or questions associated with Lilly’s policies, conduct, practices, or procedures with respect to a Federal health care program or FDA requirement believed by the individual to be a potential violation of criminal, civil, or administrative law. Lilly shall continue to appropriately publicize the existence of the disclosure mechanism (e.g., via periodic e-mails to employees or by posting the information in prominent common areas).

The Disclosure Program shall emphasize a nonretaliation policy, and shall include a reporting mechanism for anonymous communications for which appropriate confidentiality shall be maintained. Disclosures made by individuals residing outside the United States shall be in accordance with applicable laws, including the European Union Data Protection Directive. Upon receipt of a disclosure, the Chief Compliance Officer (or designee) shall gather all relevant information from the disclosing individual. The Chief Compliance Officer (or designee) shall make a preliminary, good faith inquiry into the allegations set forth in every disclosure to ensure that he or she has obtained all of the information necessary to determine whether a further review should be conducted. For any disclosure that is sufficiently specific so that it reasonably: (1) permits a determination of the appropriateness of the alleged improper practice; and (2) provides an opportunity for taking corrective action, Lilly shall conduct an internal review of the allegations set forth in the disclosure and ensure that proper follow-up is conducted.

The Chief Compliance Officer (or designee) shall maintain a disclosure log, which shall include a record and summary of each disclosure received (whether anonymous or not), the status of the respective internal reviews, and any corrective action taken in response to the internal reviews. The disclosure log shall be made available to OIG upon request.

F. Ineligible Persons.

1. Definitions. For purposes of this CIA:

a. an “Ineligible Person” shall include an individual or entity who:

i. is currently excluded, debarred, suspended, or otherwise ineligible to participate in the Federal health care programs or in Federal procurement or nonprocurement programs; or

ii. has been convicted of a criminal offense that falls within the ambit of 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7(a), but has not yet been excluded, debarred, suspended, or otherwise declared ineligible.

b. “Exclusion Lists” include:

i. the HHS/OIG List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (available through the Internet at http://www.oig.hhs.gov); and

ii. the General Services Administration’s List of Parties Excluded from Federal Programs (available through the Internet at http://www. epls. gov).

c. “Screened Persons” shall include all Covered Persons.

2. Screening Requirements. Lilly shall ensure that all Screened Persons are not Ineligible Persons, by implementing the following screening requirements.

Corporate Integrity Agreement
Eli Lilly Company

b. Lilly shall screen all Screened Persons against the Exclusion Lists within 90 days after the Effective Date and on an annual basis thereafter.

c. Lilly shall implement a policy requiring all Screened Persons to disclose immediately any debarment, exclusion, suspension, or other event that makes that person an Ineligible Person.

Nothing in this Section affects the responsibility of (or liability for) Lilly to (if applicable) refrain from billing Federal health care programs for items or services furnished, ordered, or prescribed by an Ineligible Person. Lilly understands that items or services furnished by excluded persons are not payable by Federal health care programs and that Lilly may be liable for overpayments (if applicable) and/or criminal, civil, and administrative sanctions for employing or contracting with an excluded person regardless of whether Lilly meets the requirements of Section III.F.

3. Removal Requirement. If Lilly has actual notice that a Screened Person has become an Ineligible Person, Lilly shall remove such Screened Person from responsibility for, or involvement with, Lilly’s business operations related to the Federal health care programs and shall remove such Screened Person from any position for which the Screened Person’s compensation or the items or services furnished, ordered, or prescribed by the Screened Person are paid in whole or part, directly or indirectly, by Federal health care programs or otherwise with Federal funds at least until such time as the Screened Person is reinstated into participation in the Federal health care programs.

4. Pending Charges and Proposed Exclusions. If Lilly has actual notice that a Screened Person is charged with a criminal offense that falls within the ambit of 42 U.S.C. §§ 1320a-7(a), 1320a-7(b)(1)-(3), or is proposed for exclusion during the Screened Person’s employment or contract term, Lilly shall take all appropriate actions to ensure that the responsibilities of that Screened Person have not and shall not adversely affect the accuracy of any claims submitted to any Federal health care program.

G. Notification of Government Investigation or Legal Proceedings.

Within 30 days after discovery by senior management at U.S. corporate headquarters of Lilly or Lilly USA, Lilly shall notify OIG, in writing, of any ongoing investigation or legal proceeding known to Lilly conducted or brought by a governmental entity or its agents involving an allegation that Lilly has committed a crime or has engaged in

Corporate Integrity Agreement
Eli Lilly Company

fraudulent activities. This notification shall include a description of the allegation, the identity of the investigating or prosecuting agency, and the status of such investigation or legal proceeding. Lilly shall also provide written notice to OIG within 30 days after the resolution of the matter, and shall provide OIG with a description of the findings and/or results of the investigation or proceedings, if any.

H. Reporting.

1. Reportable Events.

a. Definition of Reportable Event. For purposes of this CIA, a “Reportable Event” means anything that involves:

i. a matter that a reasonable person would consider a probable violation of criminal, civil, or administrative laws applicable to any Federal health care program and/or applicable to any FDA requirements relating to the promotion of Lilly Government Reimbursed Products for which penalties or exclusion may be authorized; or

ii. the filing of a bankruptcy petition by Lilly.

A Reportable Event may be the result of an isolated event or a series of occurrences.

b. Reporting of Reportable Events. If Lilly or Lilly USA determines (after a reasonable opportunity to conduct an appropriate review or investigation of the allegations) through any means that there is a Reportable Event, Lilly shall notify OIG, in writing, within 30 days after making the determination that the Reportable Event exists. The report to OIG shall include the following information:

i. a complete description of the Reportable Event, including the relevant facts, persons involved, and legal and Federal health care program and/or FDA authorities implicated;

ii. a description of Lilly’s actions taken to correct the Reportable Event; and

Corporate Integrity Agreement
Eli Lilly Company

iii. any further steps Lilly plans to take to address the Reportable Event and prevent it from recurring.

iv. If the Reportable Event involves the filing of a bankruptcy petition, the report to the OIG shall include documentation of the filing and a description of any Federal health care program authorities and/or FDA authorities implicated.

v. Lilly shall not be required to report as a Reportable Event any matter previously disclosed under Section III.G.

I. Notification of Communications with FDA.

Within 30 days after the date of any written report, correspondence, or communication between Lilly and the FDA that materially discusses Lilly’s or a Covered Person’s actual or potential unlawful or improper promotion of Lilly’s products (including any improper dissemination of information about off-label indications), Lilly shall provide a copy of the report, correspondence, or communication to the OIG. Lilly shall also provide written notice to the OIG within 30 days after the resolution of any such disclosed off-label matter, and shall provide the OIG with a description of the findings and/or results of the matter, if any.

J. Review of Records Reflecting the Content of Detailing Sessions.

For each Reporting Period, Lilly shall obtain non-Lilly records (e.g., Verbatims, message recall studies, or similar records) generated by an independent entity (Survey Entity) reflecting the purported content and subject matter of detailing interactions between Lilly sales representatives and HCPs for up to three Covered Products (as defined below). In order to satisfy its obligations under this Section III.J, Lilly may propose that it obtain an alternative type of survey record. The OIG will consider Lilly’s proposal, and after considering Lilly’s proposal shall, in its discretion, identify the type of survey records to be obtained.

For each Covered Product, Lilly shall contract with the Survey Entity to conduct inquiries into the content and subject matter of the detailing interactions. The OIG shall select and notify the Survey Entity of a one week period within every other quarter of the Reporting Period for which the surveys shall be conducted beginning in the second full

Corporate Integrity Agreement
Eli Lilly Company

quarter after the Effective Date. For each Covered Product, Lilly shall obtain records reflecting the purported content and subject matter of detailing sessions during the identified week in all regions across the United States.

Prior to the start of the second Reporting Period and every Reporting Period thereafter, based on the information provided and other information known to it, and after consultation with Lilly, the OIG shall select up to three Government Reimbursed Products to be the basis for the review outlined in this Section III.J and shall notify Lilly of its selection. These identified products shall be known as the “Covered Products.” The parties have already identified the Covered Products for the first Reporting Period.

Lilly shall review the records obtained from the Survey Entity and shall identify any instances in which the records appear to indicate that Covered Persons may have discussed and/or disseminated information about off-label uses of the Covered Products. Lilly shall make findings based on its review (Off-Label Findings) and shall take any responsive action it deems necessary. If necessary for purposes of its review, Lilly shall endeavor to gather additional factual information about the circumstances relating to any Off-Label Findings. As part of each Annual Report, Lilly shall provide the OIG with copies of the underlying records of the detailing interactions, a copy of Lilly’s Off-Label Findings, and a description of the action(s), if any, Lilly took in response to the Off-Label Findings.

K. Field Force Monitoring and Review Efforts

To the extent not already accomplished, within 120 days after the Effective Date, Lilly shall establish a Field Force Monitoring Program (FFMP) to evaluate and monitor field sales force representatives’ interactions with HCPs. The FFMP shall be a formalized process designed to directly observe the appropriateness of field sales force representative’s interactions with HCPs and to identify potential off-label promotional activities.

Under this program, Lilly compliance personnel or appropriately trained Lilly employees who are not currently working in the marketing or the field sales organization shall conduct direct field observations (Observations) of field sales force representatives to assess whether the messages delivered and materials distributed to HCPs are consistent with Lilly’s Policies and Procedures. These Observations shall be full day ride-alongs with field sales representatives, and each Observation shall consist of directly observing all meetings between a sales representative and HCPs during the workday. The

Corporate Integrity
Agreement Eli Lilly Company

Observations shall be scheduled throughout the year, randomly selected by Lilly compliance personnel, include each therapeutic area and actively promoted product, and be conducted across the United States. At the completion of each Observation, Lilly compliance personnel or the designee shall prepare a report which includes:

	1)		the identity of the sales representative;

	2)		the identity of the Lilly compliance professional or other Lilly employee;

	3)		the date and duration of the Observation;

	4)		the product(s) promoted during the Observation;

	5)		an overall assessment of compliance with Lilly policy; and

	6)		the identification of any potential off-label promotional activity by the field sales representative.

Lilly compliance personnel shall conduct at least 50 full-day Observations during each Reporting Period. The number of inspections conducted for each therapeutic area and product shall be proportional in number to the size of each therapeutic area and product, and shall be conducted across the United States.

In the event that a compliance issue, including but not limited to a potential off-label promotion or noncompliance with Lilly’s compliance program or policies and procedures, is identified during any Observation, Lilly shall investigate the incident consistent with established Policies and Procedures for the handling of investigations. As part of the formal investigation procedures, findings shall be made and all necessary and appropriate responsive action (including disciplinary action) and corrective action shall be taken. The Compliance Officer shall disclose Reportable Events pursuant to Section III.H above, if applicable. Any compliance issues identified during an Observation and any corrective action shall be recorded in the files of the compliance department.

Lilly shall include a summary of the FFMP and the results of the FFMP as part of each Annual Report. As part of each Annual Report, Lilly also shall provide the OIG with copies of the Observation report for any instances in which it was determined that improper promotion occurred and a description of the action(s) that Lilly took as a result of such determinations. Lilly shall make the Observation reports for all other Observations available to the OIG upon request.

L. Notice to Health Care Providers and Entities

Within 90 days after the Effective Date, Lilly shall send, by first class mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, a notice containing the language set forth below to all HCPs and HCIs that Lilly currently details. This notice shall be dated and shall be signed by Lilly’s Chief Executive Officer. The body of the letter shall state the following:

As you may be aware, Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly) recently entered into a global civil, criminal, and administrative settlement with the United States and individual states in connection of its promotion of its drug Zyprexa.

This letter provides you with additional information about the settlement, explains Lilly’s commitments going forward, and provides you with access to information about those commitments. In general terms, the Government alleged that Lilly unlawfully promoted the drug Zyprexa for certain uses not approved by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA). To resolve these matters, Lilly pled guilty to a misdemeanor criminal violation of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act and agreed to pay more than $1 billion to the Federal Government and state Medicaid programs. More information about this settlement may be found at the following: [Lilly shall include a link to the USAO, OCL, and Eli Lilly websites in the letter.]

As part of the federal settlement, Lilly also entered into a five-year corporate integrity agreement with the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The corporate integrity agreement is available at http://oig.hhs.gov/fraud/cia/index.html. Under this agreement, Lilly agreed to undertake certain obligations designed to promote compliance with Federal healthcare program and FDA requirements. We also agreed to notify healthcare providers about the settlement and inform them that they can report any questionable practices by Lilly’s representatives to Lilly’s Compliance Department or the FDA.

Please call or email Lilly at 1-800-TBD or [Lilly shall insert website address in the letter.] if you have questions about the settlement referenced above or to report any instances in which you believe that a Lilly representative inappropriately promoted a product or engaged in other questionable conduct. Alternatively, you may report any such instances to the FDA’s Division of Drug Marketing, Advertising, and Communications at 301-796-1200. You should direct medical questions or concerns about the products to The Lilly Answer Center at
1-800-Lilly-Rx.

With respect to such releases, Lilly shall have the rights set forth at 45 C.F.R. § 5.65(d).

X. Breach and Default Provisions

Lilly is expected to fully and timely comply with all of its CIA obligations.

		a. a Compliance Officer;

		b. a Compliance Committee;

3. A Stipulated Penalty of $2,500 (which shall begin to accrue on the day after the date the obligation became due) for each day Lilly fails to submit the Implementation Report or the Annual Reports to OIG in accordance with the requirements of Section V by the deadlines for submission.

4. A Stipulated Penalty of $2,500 (which shall begin to accrue on the day after the date the obligation became due) for each day Lilly fails to submit the annual IRO Review Report(s) in accordance with the requirements of Section III.D and Appendices A-B.

5. A Stipulated Penalty of $1,500 for each day Lilly fails to grant access as required in Section VII. (This Stipulated Penalty shall begin to accrue on the date Lilly fails to grant access.)

Corporate Integrity Agreement
Eli Lilly Company

7. A Stipulated Penalty of $1,000 for each day Lilly fails to comply fully and adequately with any obligation of this CIA. OIG shall provide notice to Lilly, stating the specific grounds for its determination that Lilly has failed to comply fully and adequately with the CIA obligation(s) at issue and steps Lilly shall take to comply with the CIA. (This Stipulated Penalty shall begin to accrue 10 days after Lilly receives this notice from OIG of the failure to comply.) A Stipulated Penalty as described in this Subsection shall not be demanded for any violation for which OIG has sought a Stipulated Penalty under Subsections 1-6 of this Section.

B. Timely Written Requests for Extensions. Lilly may, in advance of the due date, submit a timely written request for an extension of time to perform any act or file any notification or report required by this CIA. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section, if OIG grants the timely written request with respect to an act, notification, or report, Stipulated Penalties for failure to perform the act or file the notification or report shall not begin to accrue until one day after Lilly fails to meet the revised deadline set by OIG. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section, if OIG denies such a timely written request, Stipulated Penalties for failure to perform the act or file the notification or report shall not begin to accrue until three business days after Lilly receives OIG’s written denial of such request or the original due date, whichever is later. A “timely written request” is defined as a request in writing received by OIG at least five business days prior to the date by which any act is due to be performed or any notification or report is due to be filed.

C. Payment of Stipulated Penalties.

1. Demand Letter. Upon a finding that Lilly has failed to comply with any of the obligations described in Section X.A and after determining that Stipulated Penalties are appropriate, OIG shall notify Lilly of: (a) Lilly’s failure to comply; and (b) OIG’s exercise of its contractual right to demand payment of the Stipulated Penalties (this notification is referred to as the “Demand Letter”).

2. Response to Demand Letter. Within 10 days after the receipt of the Demand Letter, Lilly shall either: (a) cure the breach to OIG’s satisfaction and pay the applicable Stipulated Penalties; or (b) request a hearing before an HHS administrative law judge (ALJ) to dispute OIG’s determination of noncompliance, pursuant to the agreed upon provisions set forth below in Section X.E. In the event Lilly elects to request an ALJ hearing, the Stipulated Penalties shall continue to accrue until Lilly cures, to OIG’s satisfaction, the alleged breach in dispute. Failure to respond to the Demand Letter in one

Corporate Integrity Agreement
Eli Lilly Company

of these two manners within the allowed time period shall be considered a material breach of this CIA and shall be grounds for exclusion under Section X.D.

3. Form of Payment. Payment of the Stipulated Penalties shall be made by electronic funds transfer to an account specified by OIG in the Demand Letter.

4. Independence from Material Breach Determination. Except as set forth in Section X.D.1.c, these provisions for payment of Stipulated Penalties shall not affect or otherwise set a standard for OIG’s decision that Lilly has materially breached this CIA, which decision shall be made at OIG’s discretion and shall be governed by the provisions in Section X.D, below.

D. Exclusion for Material Breach of this CIA.

1. Definition of Material Breach. A material breach of this CIA means:

a. a failure by Lilly to report a Reportable Event and take corrective action, as required in Section III.H;

b. a repeated or flagrant violation of the obligations under this CIA, including, but not limited to, the obligations addressed in Section X.A;

c. a failure to respond to a Demand Letter concerning the payment of Stipulated Penalties in accordance with Section X.C;

d. a failure to engage and use an IRO in accordance with Section III.D; or

e. a failure of the Committee of the Board to issue a resolution in accordance with Section III.A.3.

2. Notice of Material Breach and Intent to Exclude. The parties agree that a material breach of this CIA by Lilly constitutes an independent basis for Lilly’s exclusion from participation in the Federal health care programs. Upon a determination by OIG that Lilly has materially breached this CIA and that exclusion is the appropriate remedy, OIG shall notify Lilly of: (a) Lilly’s material breach; and (b) OIG’s intent to exercise its contractual right to impose exclusion (this notification is hereinafter referred

Corporate Integrity Agreement
Eli Lilly Company

to as the “Notice of Material Breach and Intent to Exclude”).

3. Opportunity to Cure. Lilly shall have 30 days from the date of receipt of the Notice of Material Breach and Intent to Exclude to demonstrate to OIG’s satisfaction that:

a. Lilly is in compliance with the obligations of the CIA cited by OIG as being the basis for the material breach;

b. the alleged material breach has been cured; or

c. the alleged material breach cannot be cured within the 30-day period, but that: (i) Lilly has begun to take action to cure the material breach; (ii) Lilly is pursuing such action with due diligence; and (iii) Lilly has provided to OIG a reasonable timetable for curing the material breach.

4. Exclusion Letter. If, at the conclusion of the 30-day period, Lilly fails to satisfy the requirements of Section X.D.3, OIG may exclude Lilly from participation in the Federal health care programs. OIG shall notify Lilly in writing of its determination to exclude Lilly (this letter shall be referred to hereinafter as the “Exclusion Letter”). Subject to the Dispute Resolution provisions in Section X.E, below, the exclusion shall go into effect 30 days after the date of Lilly’s receipt of the Exclusion Letter. The exclusion shall have national effect and shall also apply to all other Federal procurement and nonprocurement programs. Reinstatement to program participation is not automatic. After the end of the period of exclusion, Lilly may apply for reinstatement by submitting a written request for reinstatement in accordance with the provisions at 42 C.F.R. §§ 1001.3001-.3004.

E. Dispute Resolution

1. Review Rights. Upon OIG’s delivery to Lilly of its Demand Letter or of its Exclusion Letter, and as an agreed-upon contractual remedy for the resolution of disputes arising under this CIA, Lilly shall be afforded certain review rights comparable to the ones that are provided in 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7(f) and 42 C.F.R. Part 1005 as if they applied to the Stipulated Penalties or exclusion sought pursuant to this CIA. Specifically, OIG’s determination to demand payment of Stipulated Penalties or to seek exclusion shall be subject to review by an HHS ALJ and, in the event of an appeal, the HHS

Corporate Integrity Agreement
Eli Lilly Company

Departmental Appeals Board (DAB), in a manner consistent with the provisions in 42 C.F.R. § 1005.2-1005.21. Notwithstanding the language in 42 C.F.R. § 1005.2(c), the request for a hearing involving Stipulated Penalties shall be made within 10 days after receipt of the Demand Letter and the request for a hearing involving exclusion shall be made within 25 days after receipt of the Exclusion Letter.

2. Stipulated Penalties Review. Notwithstanding any provision of Title 42 of the United States Code or Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations, the only issues in a proceeding for Stipulated Penalties under this CIA shall be: (a) whether Lilly was in full and timely compliance with the obligations of this CIA for which OIG demands payment; and (b) the period of noncompliance. Lilly shall have the burden of proving its full and timely compliance and the steps taken to cure the noncompliance, if any. OIG shall not have the right to appeal to the DAB an adverse ALJ decision related to Stipulated Penalties. If the ALJ agrees with OIG with regard to a finding of a breach of this CIA and orders Lilly to pay Stipulated Penalties, such Stipulated Penalties shall become due and payable 20 days after the ALJ issues such a decision unless Lilly requests review of the ALJ decision by the DAB. If the ALJ decision is properly appealed to the DAB and the DAB upholds the determination of OIG, the Stipulated Penalties shall become due and payable 20 days after the DAB issues its decision.

3. Exclusion Review. Notwithstanding any provision of Title 42 of the United States Code or Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations, the only issues in a proceeding for exclusion based on a material breach of this CIA shall be:

a. whether Lilly was in material breach of this CIA;

b. whether such breach was continuing on the date of the Exclusion Letter; and

c. whether the alleged material breach could not have been cured within the 30-day period, but that: (i) Lilly had begun to take action to cure the material breach within that period; (ii) Lilly has pursued and is pursuing such action with due diligence; and (iii) Lilly provided to OIG within that period a reasonable timetable for curing the material breach and Lilly has followed the timetable.

For purposes of the exclusion herein, exclusion shall take effect only after an ALJ decision favorable to OIG, or, if the ALJ rules for Lilly, only after a DAB

Corporate Integrity Agreement
Eli Lilly Company

decision in favor of OIG. Lilly’s election of its contractual right to appeal to the DAB shall not abrogate OIG’s authority to exclude Lilly upon the issuance of an ALJ’s decision in favor of OIG. If the ALJ sustains the determination of OIG and determines that exclusion is authorized, such exclusion shall take effect 20 days after the ALJ issues such a decision, notwithstanding that Lilly may request review of the ALJ decision by the DAB. If the DAB finds in favor of OIG after an ALJ decision adverse to OIG, the exclusion shall take effect 20 days after the DAB decision. Lilly shall waive its right to any notice of such an exclusion if a decision upholding the exclusion is rendered by the ALJ or DAB. If the DAB finds in favor of Lilly, Lilly shall be reinstated effective on the date of the original exclusion.

4. Finality of Decision. The review by an ALJ or DAB provided for above shall not be considered to be an appeal right arising under any statutes or regulations. Consequently, the parties to this CIA agree that the DAB’s decision (or the ALJ’s decision if not appealed) shall be considered final for all purposes under this CIA.

XI. Effective and Binding Agreement

Lilly and OIG agree as follows:

A. This CIA shall be binding on the successors, assigns, and transferees of Lilly;

B. This CIA shall become final and binding on the date the final signature is obtained on the CIA;

C. This CIA constitutes the complete agreement between the parties and may not be amended except by written consent of the parties to this CIA;

D. The undersigned Lilly signatories represent and warrant that they are authorized to execute this CIA. The undersigned OIG signatory represents that he is signing this CIA in his official capacity and that he is authorized to execute this CIA; and

E. This CIA may be executed in counterparts, each of which constitutes an original and all of which constitute one and the same CIA. Facsimiles of signatures shall constitute acceptable, binding signatures for purposes of this CIA.

			On a semi-annual basis, the Lilly’s Compliance Office or designee shall review the TLAC Database and related information, as

Appendix B
Eli Lilly, Inc. CIA

appropriate, and shall generate a report summarizing the items of information outlined in Section III.A.1 above for each Inquiry received during the preceding two quarters (“TLAC Database Report”). Lilly’s Compliance Office or designee shall review the TLAC Database Reports to assess whether the information contained in the report suggests that improper off-label promotion may have occurred in connection with any Inquiry(ies). If the Lilly’s Compliance Office or designee, in consultation with other appropriate Lilly personnel, suspects that improper off-label promotion may have occurred in connection with any Inquiry, the Lilly’s Compliance Office or designee shall undertake a follow-up review of the Inquiry (hereafter “Off-Label Review”), make specific findings based on the Off-Label Review, and take all appropriate corrective action (including disciplinary action of the Covered Person and reporting of the conduct, including disclosing Reportable Events pursuant to Section III.H of the CIA, if applicable).

	3)		IRO Review of Inquiries Reflected in the TLAC Database

			The IRO shall select and review a random sample of 60 Inquiries from among the Inquiries reflected in the TLAC Database for each Reporting Period. Forty-five of the Inquiries reviewed by the IRO shall be Inquiries for which Lilly conducted an Off-Label Review, and the other 15 shall be Inquiries for which Lilly did not conduct an Off-Label Review. If Lilly conducted an Off-Label Review on fewer than 45 Inquiries, additional Inquiries may be selected for which an Off-Label Review was not conducted to reach a total of 60 Inquiries. For each Inquiry reviewed, the IRO shall determine:

	a)		Whether each item of information listed above in Section III.A.1 is reflected in the TLAC Database for each reviewed Inquiry; and

	b)		For each Inquiry for which Lilly’s Compliance Office or designee conducted an Off-Label Review, the basis for suspecting that improper off-label promotion may have occurred; the steps undertaken as part of the Off-Label Review; the findings of the Lilly’s Compliance Office or designee as a result of the Off-Label Review; and any follow-up actions taken by Lilly based on the Off-Label Review findings.


B.		IRO Review of Lilly’s Call Plans and Call Plan Review Process

Appendix B
Eli Lilly, Inc. CIA

The IRO shall conduct a review and assessment of Lilly’s review of its call plans for Government Reimbursed Products as set forth in Section III.B.3.g of the CIA. Lilly shall provide the IRO with: i) a list of products promoted by Lilly during the Reporting Period; ii) information about the FDA-approved uses for each Lilly product; and iii) the call plans for each product. Lilly shall also provide the IRO with information about the reviews of call plans that Lilly conducted during the Reporting Period and any modifications to the call plans made as a result of Lilly’s reviews.

For each call plan, the IRO shall select a sample of 50 of the HCPs and HCIs included on the call plan. For each call plan, the IRO shall compare the sampled HCPs and HCIs against the criteria (e.g., medical specialty or practice area) used by Lilly in conducting its review and/or modification of the call plan in order to determine whether Lilly followed its criteria and Policies and Procedures in reviewing and modifying the call plan.

The IRO shall note any instances in which it appears that the sampled HCPs and HCIs on a particular call plan are inconsistent with Lilly’s criteria relating to the call plan and/or Lilly’s Policies and Procedures. The IRO shall also note any instances in which it appears that Lilly failed to follow its criteria or Policies and Procedures.


C.	IRO Review of the Distribution of Samples of Lilly’s Government Reimbursed Products

The IRO shall conduct a review and assessment of the distribution of samples of Lilly’s Government Reimbursed Products to HCPs and HCIs. Lilly shall provide the IRO with: i) a list of products for which Lilly distributed samples during the Reporting Period; ii) information about the FDA-approved uses for each Lilly product; and iii) information about Lilly’s policies and procedures relating to the distribution of samples of each type of product, including Lilly’s Sample Distribution Plan showing which type samples may be distributed by sales representatives to HCPs and HCIs of particular medical specialties or types of clinical practices. Lilly shall also provide the IRO with information about: (1) the reviews of Sample Distribution Plans that Lilly conducted during the Reporting Period; and (2) any modifications to the distribution plans made or corrective actions that may be taken as a result of Lilly’s reviews, including investigating, documenting, resolving, and taking disciplinary action.

For each product for which Lilly distributed samples during the Reporting Period, the IRO shall randomly select a sample of 50 separate instances in which Lilly provided samples of the product to HCPs or HCIs either through sales

Appendix B
Eli Lilly, Inc. CIA

representation distribution or direct shipment. Each such instance shall be known as a “Sampling Event.”

For each Sampling Event, the IRO shall review all documents and information relating to the distribution of the sample to the HCP or HCI, including the sample card, direct shipment request form and/or the electronic call record. The reviewed materials shall include information about the following: 1) the quantity, dosage, and form of the Lilly product provided to the HCP or HCI; 2) the identity and type of medical specialty or clinical practice of the HCP or HCI; 3) which individual Lilly sales representative accepted the sample request form or provided the sample to the HCP or HCI; 4) the manner and mechanism through which the sample was requested (e.g., sample card or direct shipment request form); and 5) the manner and mechanism through which the request was fulfilled (e.g., sales representative distribution or direct shipment.)

For each Sampling Event, the IRO shall evaluate whether the sample was provided to an HCP or HCI whose medical specialty or clinical practice is consistent with the uses of the product approved by the FDA and whether the sample was distributed by a Lilly representative in a manner consistent with Lilly’s sample distribution policy for the product(s) provided during the Sampling Event. To the extent that a sample was provided to an HCP or HCI by a Lilly representative other than a sales representative, the IRO shall contact the HCP or HCI by letter. The letter shall request that the HCP or HCI: 1) verify that he/she/it received the quantity and type of samples identified by the IRO as the Sampling Event; 2) verify that he/she/it requested the samples provided during the Sampling Event; 3) explain or confirm its type of medical specialty or clinical practice; and 4) identify the basis for requesting the sample (e.g., conversations with a Lilly sales representative, conversation with a representative of Lilly’s medical services department, independent research or knowledge of the HCP or HCI, etc.)

For each Sampling Event, the IRO shall compare the medical specialty and type of clinical practice of the HCPs and HCIs that received the sample with uses of the product approved by the FDA. The IRO shall note any instances in which it appears that the medical specialty or clinical practice of the HCPs or HCIs that received a sample during a Sampling Event were not consistent with the uses of the product approved by the FDA. For each such situation, the IRO shall note the process followed by Lilly in determining that it was appropriate to provide a sample to such HCP or HCI and the basis for such determination. For each Sampling Event, the IRO shall also note any instances in which it appears that Lilly failed to follow its Sample Distribution Plan and sample policies and procedures for the product(s) provided during the Sampling Event and, if so, whether Lilly already had taken corrective action, including investigating, documenting, resolving, and taking disciplinary action, if appropriate.

D.		IRO Review of Physician Payment Listings

Information Contained in Physician Payment Listings

As set forth in Section III.M of the CIA, Lilly shall post quarterly and annual listings of physicians and Related Entities who received Phase I, II, or III Payments, as defined in the CIA, directly or indirectly from Lilly. For purposes of the IRO review as set forth in this Section III.C, each annual listing shall be referred to as the “Physician Payment Listing” or “Listing.” For each physician and Related Entity, each Physician Payment Listing shall include the following information: i) physician’s full name; ii) name of Related Entity (if applicable); iii) city and state that the physician or the Related Entity has provided to Lilly for contact purposes; and (iv) the aggregate value of the payment(s) in the preceding quarter(s) or year (as applicable). If payments for multiple physicians have been made to one Related Entity, the aggregate value of all payments to the Related Entity will be the reported amount.

For purposes of this IRO review, the term “Control Documents” shall include all documents or electronic records associated with each Payment reflected in the Physician Payments Listing for the sampled physician and/or Related Entity. For example, the term “Control Documents” includes, but is not limited to, documents relating to the nature, purpose, and amount of all Payments reflected in the Listing; contracts relating to the Payment(s) reflected in the Listing; documents relating to the occurrence of Payment(s) reflected in the Listing; documents reflecting any work product generated in connection with the Payment(s); documents submitted by sales representatives or headquarters personnel to request approval for the Payment(s); and business rationale or justification forms relating to the Payment(s).

Selection of Sample for Review

For each Reporting Period, the OIG shall have the discretion to identify up to 50 physicians or Related Entities from the applicable Physician Payment Listing that will be subject to the IRO review described below. If the OIG elects to exercise this discretion, it shall notify the IRO of the physicians and/or Related Entities subject to the IRO review. If the OIG elects not to exercise its discretion as described above, the IRO shall randomly select 50 physicians and/or Related Entities to be included in the review. For each selected physician and/or Related Entity, the IRO shall review the entry in the Physician Payment Listing and the Control Documents relating to Payments reflected in Listing identified by the IRO as necessary and sufficient to validate the Payment information in the Listing.

Appendix B
Eli Lilly, Inc. CIA

IRO Review of Control Documents for Selected Physicians and/or Related Entities

For each physician and/or Related Entity selected as part of the sample, the IRO shall review the Control Documents identified by the IRO as necessary and sufficient to validate each Payment reflected in the Listing to evaluate the following:

	a)		Whether Control Documents are available relating to each Payment reflected in the Listing for the sampled physician and/or Related Entity;

	b)		Whether the Control Documents were completed and archived in accordance with the requirements set forth in Lilly’s policies;

	c)		Whether the aggregate value of the Payment(s) as reflected in the Listing for the sampled physician or Related Entity is consistent with the value of the Payments(s) reflected in the Control Documents; and

	d)		Whether the Control Documents reflect that Lilly’s policies were followed in connection with Payment(s) reflected in the Listing (e.g., all required written approvals for the activity were obtained in accordance with Lilly’s policies.)

	4)		Identification of Material Errors and Additional Review

			A Material Error is defined as any of the following:

A situation in which all required Control Documents relating to Payments reflected in the Listing for the sampled physician and/or Related Entity do not exist and:

	i.		no corrective action was initiated prior to the selection of the sampled physicians and/or Related Entities; or

	ii.		the IRO cannot confirm that Lilly otherwise followed its policies and procedures relating to the entry in the Listing for the sampled physician or Related Entity, including its policies and procedures relating to any Payment(s) reflected in the Listing; or

Appendix B
Eli Lilly, Inc. CIA

Information or data is omitted from key fields in the Control Documents that prevents the IRO from assessing compliance with Lilly’s policies and procedures, and the IRO cannot obtain this information or data from reviewing other Control Documents.

If a Control Document does not exist, but Lilly has initiated corrective action prior to the selection of the sampled physicians and/or Related Entities, or if a Control Document does not exist but the IRO can determine that Lilly otherwise followed its policies and procedures with regard to each entry in the Listing for a sampled physician or Related Entity, the IRO shall consider such a situation to be an exception (rather than a Material Error) and the IRO shall report the situation as such. The IRO shall note as exceptions any Control Documents for which non-material information or data is omitted.

If the IRO identifies any Material Errors, the IRO shall conduct such Additional Review of the underlying Payment associated with the erroneous Control Documents as may be necessary to determine the root cause of the Material Errors. For example, the IRO may need to review additional documentation and/or conduct interviews with appropriate personnel to identify the root cause of the Material Error(s) discovered.


E.		IRO Review of Additional Items

As set forth in Section III.D.1.b of the CIA, for each Reporting Period, the OIG at its discretion may identify up to three additional items for the IRO to review (hereafter “Additional Items”.) No later than 120 days prior to the end of the applicable Reporting Period, the OIG shall notify Lilly of the nature and scope of the IRO review to be conducted for each of the Additional Items. Prior to undertaking the review of the Additional Items, the IRO and/or Lilly shall submit an audit work plan to the OIG for approval and the IRO shall conduct the review of the Additional Items based on a work plan approved by the OIG. The IRO shall include information about its review of each Additional Item in the Transactions Review Report (including a description of the review conducted for each Additional Item; the IRO’s findings based on its review for each Additional Item; and the IRO’s recommendations for any changes in Lilly’s systems, processes, policies, and procedures based on its review of each Additional Item.)

Lilly may propose to the OIG that its internal audit(s) and/or reviews conducted as part of the Lilly Compliance Monitoring Program be partially substituted for one or more of the Additional Items that would otherwise be reviewed by the IRO for the applicable Reporting Period. The Lilly Compliance

Appendix B
Eli Lilly, Inc. CIA

Monitoring Plan is a monitoring plan developed by Lilly’s Compliance Office that includes the following types of events: Advisory Board Meetings, Consultant Task Force Activities, Speaker Trainings, Speaker Programs, Exhibits, Internal Meetings, Field Sales Meetings, Sales Representative Ride-Alongs, Medical or Outcome Liaison Ride-Alongs, Good Business Practice Reviews, Grant Committee Meetings, and Activities Funded by Lilly Grant Office. The OIG retains sole discretion over whether, and in what manner, to allow Lilly’s internal audit work to be substituted for a portion of the Additional Items review conducted by the IRO.

In making its decision, the OIG agrees to consider, among other factors, the nature and scope of Lilly’s planned internal audit work and/or reviews conducted under the Compliance Monitoring Program, the results of the Transactions Review(s) during prior Reporting Period(s), and Lilly’s demonstrated audit capabilities to perform the proposed audit work internally. If the OIG denies Lilly’s request to permit its internal audit work to be substituted for a portion of the IRO’s review of Additional Items in a given Reporting Period, Lilly shall engage the IRO to perform the Review as outlined in this Section III.

If the OIG agrees to permit certain of Lilly’s internal audit work for a given Reporting Period to be substituted for a portion of Additional Items review, such internal work would be subject to verification by the IRO (Verification Review). In such an instance, the OIG would provide additional details about the scope of the Verification Review to be conducted by the IRO. However, for purposes of any Verification Review, the IRO shall review of at least 20% of the sampling units reviewed by Lilly in its internal audits.


F.		Promotional and Product Services Transactions Review Report
