Pharmacy shall at all times during the Term and thereafter defend, indemnify and hold Celgene and its officers, directors, agents and employees harmless from and against any and all Claims incurred in connection with any third-party claim arising out of (i) the negligence or intentional misconduct of Pharmacy or any of its officers, directors, agents or employees, (ii) breach by Pharmacy of any of the terms of this Agreement, or (iii) acts of Pharmacy or any of its officers, directors, agents or employees which are outside the scope of this Agreement.

The indemnitor shall have the right, by notice to the indemnitee, to assume the defense of any such Claim within ten (10) days after the indemnitor’s receipt of notice of any Claim with counsel of the indemnitor’s choice and at the sole cost of the indemnitor. If the indemnitor so assumes such defense, the indemnitee may participate therein through counsel of its choice, but at the sole cost of the indemnitee; provided, however, that the indemnitor shall be obligated to pay fees and expenses of such indemnitee’s counsel if representation of the indemnitee by the counsel retained by the indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests between the indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in the investigation and defense of any such Claim. The party not assuming the defense of any such Claim shall render all reasonable assistance to the party assuming such defense, and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such assistance shall be for the account of the indemnitor. No such Claim shall be settled other than by the party defending the same, and then only with the consent of the other party which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that the indemnitee shall have no obligation to consent to any settlement of any such Claim which imposes on the indemnitee any liability or obligation which cannot be assumed and performed in full by the indemnitor, and the indemnitee shall have no right to withhold its consent to any settlement of any such Claim if the settlement involves only the payment of money by the indemnitor or its insurer.

3.                                      RISK EVALUATION AND MITIGATION STRATEGY

 

3.1.                            OVERVIEW

 

Both REVLIMID and POMALYST are thalidomide analogues and are contraindicated in pregnancy. Thalidomide is a known teratogen that causes severe birth defects or embryo-fetal death.

 

Celgene addresses the risks of POMALYST®, REVLIMID®, and THALOMID® therapy not only through normal pharmacovigilance, but also through FDA-mandated Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies, which include, among other things, restricted distribution programs entitled POMALYST REMS™, REVLIMID REMS™ and THALOMID REMS™ .

 

The primary tools defining the REVLIMID REMS™, POMALYST REMS and THALOMID REMS Programs are the package inserts and the REMS™ Programs Education and Prescribing Safety Kit.

 

The REVLIMID REMS™ and POMALYST REMS Programs control distribution of REVLIMID® and POMALYST® through certified pharmacies. The REVLIMID and POMALYST REMS Programs require education by telephone or in-person by trained, Certified Counselors who are licensed healthcare professionals, such as Nurses (“RNs”), Nurse Practitioners (“NPs”), Licensed Practical Nurses (“LPNs”), Pharmacists (“R.Ph, “), Pharmacy Interns, Physicians (“M.D.”), Doctors of Osteopathy (“D.O.”), and Physician Assistants (“P.A.”),

 

 

Diplomat Specialty Pharmacy — Celgene Schedules

 

Page 28 of 68



 

before a prescription of POMALYST® or REVLIMID® can be dispensed by direct-shipment to a patient or the product is picked-up at the pharmacy. Education is the key component of the POMALYST REMS™ and REVLIMID REMS™ Programs.

 

3.2.                            DEFINITION

 

A Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (“REMS”) is a strategy to manage a known or potential serious risk associated with a drug or biological product. A REMS program can include a Medication Guide, Patient Package Insert, a communication plan, elements to assure safe use, and an implementation system, and must include a timetable for assessment of the REMS.

 

3.3.                            CURRENT GOALS

 

Consistent with Title IX of Subtitle A of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act (“FDAAA”) Celgene Corporation has proposed the following REMS goals for POMALYST® and REVLIMID® in the POMALYST REMS™ and REVLIMID REMS™ Programs:

 

·                  To prevent fetal exposures

 

·                  To educate physicians, other healthcare providers, and patients about embryo-fetal toxicity, deep venous thrombosis (“DVT”), and pulmonary embolism (“PE”) associated with POMALYST® and REVLIMID® therapy, as well as neutropenia and thrombocytopenia associated with REVLIMID® therapy.

 

3.4.                            POMALYST REMS ™ AND REVLIMID REMS™ PATIENT RISK CATEGORIES
