1. Business Overview
Overview
The Company manufactures, markets, sells and distributes medical imaging products globally with operations in the United States (U.S.), Puerto Rico, Canada and Australia and distribution relationships in Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America. The Company provides medical imaging products, primarily focused on cardiovascular diagnostic imaging, to nuclear physicians, cardiologists, radiologists, internal medicine physicians, independent delivery networks, group purchasing organizations and technologists/sonographers working in a variety of clinical settings.
The Company's principal products include:
In the U.S., the Company's nuclear imaging products are primarily distributed through radiopharmacy chains, with a small portion of the sales of these products also made through the Company's direct sales force to hospitals and clinics that maintain their own in-house radiopharmacies. In the U.S., sales of the Company's contrast agents are made through a direct sales force. Outside of the U.S., the Company owns five radiopharmacies in Canada and two radiopharmacies in each of Puerto Rico and Australia. The Company also maintains a direct sales force in each of these countries. In the rest of the world, the Company relies on third-party distributors to sell both nuclear imaging and contrast agent products.
Basis of Consolidation and Presentation
The financial statements have been prepared in United States dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial statements for interim periods in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The information

1. Business Overview (Continued)
included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 ("2011 Form 10-K"). The Company's accounting policies are described in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in the 2011 Form 10-K and updated, as necessary, in this Form 10-Q. There were no changes to the Company's accounting policies since December 31, 2011. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data presented for comparative purposes was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or for any other subsequent interim period.
Recent Events
The Company generated a net loss of $3.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and had an accumulated deficit of $138.4 million at June 30, 2012. The Company currently relies on Ben Venue Laboratories ("BVL") as its sole source manufacturer for DEFINITY and Neurolite and as the primary manufacturer for the Cardiolite product supply. In July 2010, BVL temporarily shut down the facility where it manufactures products for a number of customers, including the Company, in order to upgrade the facility to meet certain regulatory requirements. In anticipation of this shutdown, BVL manufactured for the Company additional inventory of these products to meet the Company's expected needs during the shutdown period, which was initially anticipated to end in March 2011. Because the shutdown and restart activities took substantially longer than anticipated by either BVL or the Company, the Company could not meet all of the demand for certain products during the second half of 2011 and the first half of 2012, resulting in an overall revenue decline in comparison to the prior periods. BVL resumed manufacturing certain of the Company's products in May 2012. After BVL released the first lot of newly-manufactured DEFINITY in June 2012, the Company shipped product to its customers in late June and early July. The Company is currently working closely with BVL to complete the quality review and commercial release process for the remaining lots BVL has recently manufactured for the Company, a process the Company believes should be completed in the next several weeks. The Company continues to work to restore full and normal production of all of its BVL-manufactured products as well as to build a sufficient inventory to appropriately serve all of its customers. The Company can give no assurances that the remaining product that BVL has recently manufactured for the Company will successfully complete the quality review and commercial release process, or that BVL will be able to manufacture product for the Company on a timely and consistent basis in the future.
The Company has also expedited a number of technology transfer programs to secure and qualify production of its BVL-manufactured products with alternate contract manufacturer sites. Currently, the Company is utilizing an alternate manufacturer for a portion of its Cardiolite sales demand and has entered into separate manufacturing and supply agreements with Jubilant HollisterStier ("JHS") for the manufacture of each of DEFINITY, Cardiolite and Neurolite. The Company is also pursuing new manufacturing relationships to establish and secure additional long-term or alternative suppliers of Cardiolite, Neurolite and DEFINITY, but is uncertain of the timing as to when the new arrangements with other suppliers would provide meaningful quantities of products to the Company.
During the first quarter of 2012, the Company received $30.0 million from BVL to compensate the Company for its business losses, and BVL and LMI terminated their original manufacturing agreement
6
Lantheus MI Intermediate, Inc. and subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements (Continued)
1. Business Overview (Continued)
and entered into (i) a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement"), (ii) a Transition Services Agreement (the "Transition Services Agreement"), and (iii) a Manufacturing and Service Contract (the "Manufacturing and Service Contract").
The $30.0 million received upon termination of the Company's original manufacturing agreement and the weekly payments for additional delays under the Transition Services Agreement, which totaled approximately $34.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012, are compensation to the Company for business losses associated with the lack of product supply. As the Company has no remaining obligations associated with the original manufacturing agreement and the price to be paid upon delivery of product under the Transition Services Agreement and Manufacturing and Service Contract are at prices the Company believes are at market prices, the Company has recognized the proceeds as gains within the Company's results of operations. These payments are included within operating income as proceeds from manufacturer. The net proceeds totaled $3.9 million and $33.8 million in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.
If BVL is not able to provide the Company adequate product supply for a further prolonged period of time, we are unable to regain sufficient market share, or the Company is not successful with its JHS technology transfer programs in 2012 and cannot obtain adequate supply from JHS, the Company will need to implement additional expense reductions, such as a potential delay of discretionary spending including possible reductions in sales and marketing and research and development activities, as well as other operating and strategic initiatives.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant estimates reflected in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements include certain judgments regarding revenue recognition, goodwill and intangible asset valuation, inventory valuation, asset retirement obligations, income tax liabilities, deferred tax assets and liabilities, accrued expenses and stock-based compensation. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates or assumptions.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when evidence of an arrangement exists, title has passed, the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. For transactions for which revenue recognition criteria have not yet been met, the respective amounts are recorded as deferred revenue until such point in time the criteria are met and revenue can be recognized. Revenue is recognized net of reserves, which consist of allowances for returns and allowances for rebates.
Revenue arrangements with multiple elements are divided into separate units of accounting if certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered element has stand-alone value to the customer. Supply or service transactions may involve the charge of a nonrefundable initial fee with subsequent periodic payments for future products or services. The up-front fees, even if nonrefundable, are earned (and revenue is recognized) as the products and/or services are delivered and performed over the term of the arrangement.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB"), issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU"), No. 2012-02, "IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment," ("ASU 2012-02"). ASU 2012-02 allows a company the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. Under that option, a company would no longer be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the company determines, based on that qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The tables below present information about the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points from active markets that are observable, such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs utilize unobservable data points for the asset or liability.

In the first quarter of 2012, the Company invested $0.2 million in a certificate of deposit, and, as a result, the Company's use of such cash is restricted and is included in the line item "Certificates of depositrestricted". This investment is classified in other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The remaining $0.1 million represents a certificate of deposit that is collateral for a long-term lease and is included in other long-term assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Certificates of deposit are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as these are not traded on the open market.
At June 30, 2012, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents of $56.9 million, which included approximately $7.0 million of money market funds and $49.9 million of cash on-hand. At December 31, 2011, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents of $40.6 million, which included approximately $6.0 million of money market funds and $34.6 million of cash on-hand.
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments, including its cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the carrying values of these instruments due to their short term nature. The estimated fair value of the debt at June 30, 2012, based on Level 2 inputs of recent market activity available to the Company, was $366.0 million compared to the face value of $400.0 million. At December 31, 2011, the estimated fair value of the debt was $320.0 million compared to the face value of $400.0 million.
4. Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes at the end of each interim period based on the estimated effective tax rate for the full fiscal year in addition to discrete events which impact the interim period. The Company's effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate principally due to the rate impact of uncertain tax positions, valuation allowance changes and state taxes. Cumulative adjustments to the tax provision are recorded in the interim period in which a change in the estimated annual effective rate is determined. The Company's tax provision (benefit) was $(0.6) million and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, on pre-tax losses of $25.2 million and $2.1 million for the respective periods compared to tax provisions (benefit) of $(14.7) million and $(9.5) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, on pre-tax losses of $37.1 million and $25.5 million for the respective periods.
Within the next twelve months, unrecognized tax benefits of $1.3 million associated with federal research credits may be recognized due to the closing of the statute of limitations.
The Company has a tax indemnification agreement with BMS related to certain tax obligations arising prior to the acquisition of the Company, for which the Company has the primary legal obligation.

and penalties and interest associated with these obligations (net of any offsetting federal or state benefit) is recognized within the tax provision. Accordingly, as these reserves change, adjustments are included in the tax provision while the offsetting adjustment is included in other income. Assuming that the receivable from BMS continues to be considered recoverable by the Company, there is no net effect on earnings related to these liabilities and no net cash outflows.
5. Inventory
The Company includes within current assets the amount of inventory that is estimated to be utilized within twelve months. Inventory that will be utilized after twelve months is classified within other long-term assets.
Inventory, classified in inventory or other long-term assets, consisted of the following:

At June 30, 2012, inventories reported as other long-term assets included $11.0 million of raw materials. At December 31, 2011, inventories reported as other long-term assets included $10.7 million of raw materials and $0.5 million of finished goods.
The Company's Ablavar product was commercially launched in January 2010 and the Company is continuing the process of educating radiologists on optimizing the use of the product within their patient populations. The revenues for this product through June 30, 2012 have not been significant. At both June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the balances of inventory on-hand reflected approximately $12.2 million of finished products and raw materials related to Ablavar. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, approximately $11.0 million and $11.2 million, respectively, of Ablavar inventory was included in other long-term assets. LMI has an agreement with a supplier to provide Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient ("API") and finished products for Ablavar under which LMI is required to purchase future minimum quantities. At June 30, 2012, the remaining purchase commitment under the agreement was approximately $11.1 million. The Company records the inventory when it takes delivery, at which time the Company assumes title and risk of loss.
Prior to the issuance of the June 30, 2011 financial statements, the Company performed analyses of its expected future sales of its Ablavar product and recorded an inventory write-down to cost of goods sold of $13.5 million, which represented the cost of Ablavar finished good product and API that the Company did not believe it will be able to sell prior to its expiration. Prior to the issuance of the Company's June 30, 2011 financial statements, the Company completed an updated sales forecast for Ablavar based on actual sales through June 30, 2011 in consideration of its supply agreement for API. Based on the updated sales forecast, coupled with the aggregate six-year shelf life of API and finished goods, the Company recorded in cost of goods sold a reserve of $1.9 million for the loss associated

with the portion of the committed purchases of Ablavar product that the Company did not believe it would be able to sell prior to its expiration. Also, the Company determined that its write-down of Ablavar inventory represented an event that warranted assessment of the intellectual property associated with Ablavar for its recoverability and concluded that the intellectual property was not recoverable and in the second quarter of 2011, recorded in cost of goods sold an impairment of this intangible asset of $23.5 million. See Note 8, "Intangibles, net."
In the event that the Company does not meet its sales expectations for Ablavar or cannot sell the product it has committed to purchase prior to its expiration, the Company could incur additional inventory write-downs and/or losses on its purchase commitments.

Included within property, plant and equipment are spare parts of approximately $2.8 million at both June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Spare parts include replacement parts relating to plant and equipment and are either recognized as an expense when consumed or re-classified and capitalized as part of the related plant and equipment and depreciated over a time period not exceeding the useful life of the related asset.
7. Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company considers the legal obligation to remediate its facilities upon a decommissioning of its radioactive related operations as an asset retirement obligation. The operations of the Company have radioactive production facilities at its North Billerica, Massachusetts and San Juan, Puerto Rico sites.
The fair value of a liability for asset retirement obligations is recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. The liability is measured at the present value of the obligation when incurred and is adjusted in subsequent periods as accretion expense is recorded. The corresponding asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying value of the related long-lived assets and depreciated over the asset's useful life.

Prior to the issuance of the Company's June 30, 2011 financial statements, the Company completed an update of its sales forecast based on actual sales results through June 30, 2011 and its forecasted Ablavar sales activity. The Company, using its revised sales forecast, conducted an impairment analysis of its Ablavar patent portfolio as of June 30, 2011 and concluded that the estimate of future undiscounted cash flows associated with the Ablavar product did not exceed the carrying amount of the asset and therefore, the asset would need to be written down to its fair value. In order to calculate the fair value of the Ablavar patent portfolio asset, the Company estimated the future discounted cash flows associated with the Ablavar product and as a result of this analysis, recorded an impairment charge of $23.5 million to adjust the carrying value to its fair value of zero. This expense was recorded within cost of goods sold in the accompanying condensed statement of comprehensive loss.

As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had accrued a $5.6 million loss associated with the portion of the committed purchases of Ablavar product from the Company's supplier that the Company did not believe it would sell prior to expiry. At June 30, 2012, $4.7 million was included in accrued expenses and $0.9 million was included in other long-term liabilities. At December 31, 2011, $1.0 million was included in accrued expenses and $4.6 million was included in other long-term liabilities.
On March 1, 2012, the Company took action to reduce its workforce in an effort to reduce costs and increase operating efficiency, which resulted in approximately $0.5 million charge to the statement of comprehensive loss during the three month period ended March 31, 2012. The remaining balance in accrued expenses at June 30, 2012 associated with this action was approximately $0.2 million.

10. Financing Arrangements
Notes
On March 21, 2011, LMI issued $150.0 million of 9.750% Senior Notes due 2017. The new notes were issued at a price of 101.50% and were issued as additional debt securities under the Indenture pursuant to which LMI previously issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.750% Senior Notes due 2017. The new notes and the existing 9.750% Senior Notes due 2017 (collectively, the "Notes") vote as one class under the Indenture. As a result, LMI has $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.750% per year, payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The Notes mature on May 15, 2017.
Redemption
LMI can redeem the Notes at 100% of the principal amount on May 15, 2016 or thereafter. LMI may also redeem the Notes prior to May 15, 2016 depending on the timing of the redemption during the twelve month period beginning May 15 of each of the years indicated below based on a premium percentage on the principal:
Year

2014 |
104.875 | % | ||
2015 |
102.438 | % | ||
2016 |
100.000 | % |
In addition, at any time prior to May 15, 2013, LMI may, at its option, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued at 109.750% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, subject to the right of holders of record on such date to receive any interest due, using proceeds of an equity offering, provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding immediately after such redemption and that such redemption occurs within 90 days of each equity offering (as defined in the Indenture).
At any time prior to May 15, 2014, LMI may also redeem all or a part of the Notes, with notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof of the Notes redeemed plus the applicable premium (as defined in the Indenture) as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest (as defined in the Indenture), if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, subject to the rights of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.
Upon a change of control (as defined in the Indenture), LMI will be required to make an offer to purchase each holder's Note at a price of 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.
The Notes are unsecured and are equal in right of payment to all of the existing and future senior debt, including borrowings under its secured credit facilities, subject to the security interest thereof. LMI's obligations under the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured senior basis by Lantheus Intermediate and by certain of LMI's subsidiaries, and the obligations of such guarantors under their guarantees are equal in right of payment to all of their existing and future senior debt.

Revolving Line of Credit
In connection with the issuance of the additional Notes on March 21, 2011, certain covenants and interest rates under LMI's existing $42.5 million revolving facility (the "Facility") were modified as described below. The other terms of the Facility were unchanged, including LMI's ability to request the lenders to increase the Facility by an additional amount of up to $15.0 million at the discretion of the Lenders. Interest on the Facility will be at either LIBOR plus 3.75% or the Reference Rate (as defined in the Facility) plus 2.75%. The Facility expires on May 10, 2014, at which time all outstanding borrowings are due and payable.
At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there was no outstanding balance under the Facility and the aggregate borrowing capacity was $33.7 million and $42.5 million, respectively. The availability under the Facility decreased in the period ended June 30, 2012 due to an unfunded Standby Letter of Credit of $8.8 million. The Standby Letter of Credit expires February 2, 2013.
Covenants
The Notes and the Facility contain affirmative and negative covenants, as well as restrictions on the ability of Lantheus Intermediate (in the case of the Facility), LMI and LMI's subsidiaries (in the case of the Notes and the Facility), to: (i) incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock; (ii) repay subordinated indebtedness prior to its stated maturity; (iii) pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of its capital stock or make other restricted payments; (iv) make certain investments; (v) sell certain assets; (vi) create liens; (vii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company's assets; and (viii) enter into certain transactions with the Company's affiliates. The Notes contain customary events of default provisions, including payment default and cross-acceleration for non-payment of any outstanding indebtedness, where such indebtedness exceeds $10.0 million. The Facility also contains customary default provisions and the Company is required to comply with financial covenants in the Facility including a total leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio, beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2010, as well as limitations on the amount of capital expenditures. The financial ratios are driven by the Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") as defined in the Facility ("Facility

Financing Costs
LMI incurred and capitalized approximately $15.6 million in direct financing fees, including $5.2 million associated with the additional Notes issued in March 2011, consisting primarily of underwriting fees and expenses, consent solicitation fee, legal fees, accounting fees and printing costs in connection with the issuance of the Notes and the Facility. Deferred financing costs are being amortized over the life of the Notes and the Facility, as appropriate, using the effective interest method and are included in interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
On January 26, 2012, LMI executed an amendment to the Facility which changed the financial covenant ratios, as noted in the above table. LMI incurred approximately $0.2 million in fees associated with this amendment, which is being amortized over the remaining life of the Facility using the straight-line method and is included in interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
11. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company's employees are eligible to receive awards from Holdings' 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2008 Plan"). The 2008 Plan is administered by the Holdings Board of Directors. The 2008 Plan permits the granting of nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (or SARs), restricted stock and restricted stock units to employees, officers, directors and consultants of Holdings or any subsidiary of Holdings (including Intermediate and LMI). The maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2008 Plan at June 30, 2012 is 4,977,020. Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value of Holdings' stock at the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors of Holdings. Time based option awards vest based on time, either four or five years, and performance based option awards vest based on the performance criteria
16
Lantheus MI Intermediate, Inc. and subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements (Continued)
11. Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)
specified in the grant. All option awards have a ten year contractual term. The Company recognizes compensation costs for its time based awards on a straight-line basis equal to the vesting period. The compensation cost for performance based awards is recognized on a graded vesting basis, based on the probability of achieving the performance targets over the requisite service period for the entire award. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on the historic volatility of a selected peer group. Expected dividends represent the dividends expected to be issued at the date of grant. The expected term of options represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate assumption is the seven-year U.S. Treasury rate at the date of the grant which most closely resembles the expected life of the options.
The Company uses the following Black-Scholes inputs to determine the fair value of new stock option grants.

Stock-based compensation expense (income) recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was based on awards ultimately expected to vest as well as any changes in the probability of achieving certain performance features as required. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recognized approximately $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense associated with the modification of two option agreements that were effected in the first quarter of 2012. The modifications of both awards affected the vesting terms of the awards, allowing vesting to continue beyond the last day of employment, so long as the option holders, whom are no longer employees, continue to provide consulting services to the Company. The Company will remeasure the fair value of these options at each reporting period until the consulting services are completed, which is the measurement date.
The Company used the following Black-Scholes inputs to determine the fair value of stock options that were modified during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. There were no stock option modifications during the three months ended June 30, 2012 nor the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Upon termination of employee services, the Company has the right to call shares held by employees, that were purchased or acquired through option exercise. As a result of this right, upon termination of service, vested stock-based awards are reclassified to liability based awards until the period of probable exercise has lapsed. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had recorded a liability and stock-based compensation expense of approximately $17,000 representing 13,300 options relating to stock-based liabilities that could be settled in part or in whole, in cash in the following period. The Company did not have any awards classified as liabilities as of June 30, 2011. There were no stock-based liability awards paid out in the first six months of 2012 or 2011. The Company recorded a benefit of approximately $1.0 million in the three month period ended March 31, 2011 related to liability awards which expired during the period.
The Company did not recognize an income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2012 or June 30, 2011 associated with option awards. As of June 30, 2012, there were approximately $1.8 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock options granted under the 2008 Plan. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 0.9 years. In addition, performance based awards contain certain contingent features, such as change in control provisions, which allow for the vesting of awards which did not previously meet the performance criteria. As of June 30, 2012, there was approximately $1.4 million of unrecognized compensation expense relating to these features, which could be recognized through 2018 or longer.

13. Legal Proceedings and Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company has in the past been, and may in the future be, subject to investigations by regulatory authorities which expose it to greater risks associated with litigation, regulatory or other proceedings, as a result of which the Company could be required to pay significant fines or penalties. The outcome of litigation, regulatory or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, and some lawsuits, claims, actions or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the Company. In addition, intellectual property disputes often have a risk of injunctive relief which, if imposed against the Company, could materially and adversely affect its financial condition or results of operations.

supply challenge (Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc., Plaintiff v. Zurich American Insurance Company, Defendant, United States District Court, Southern District of New York, Case No. 10 Civ 9371). The claim is the result of the shutdown of the NRU reactor in Chalk River, Ontario. The NRU reactor was off-line from May 2009 until August 2010 due to a "heavy water" leak in the reactor vessel. The defendant answered the complaint on January 21, 2011, denying substantially all of the allegations, presenting certain defenses and requesting dismissal of the case with costs and disbursements. On April 4, 2011, the parties had their first pre-trial conference in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and discovery has commenced and is continuing. The Company cannot be certain what amount, if any, or when, if ever, it will be able to recover for business interruption losses related to this matter.
14. Segment Information

We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as the other factors described in "Risk Factors" under Part IIItem 1A of this report and the information provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
We are a global leader in developing, manufacturing and distributing innovative diagnostic medical imaging agents and products that assist clinicians in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure and stroke, peripheral vascular disease and other diseases.
Our current marketed products are used by nuclear physicians, cardiologists, radiologists, internal medicine physicians, technologists and sonographers working in a variety of clinical settings. We sell our products to radiopharmacies, hospitals, clinics, group practices, integrated delivery networks, group purchasing organizations and, in certain circumstances, wholesalers. In addition to our marketed products, we have three products in clinical and pre-clinical development including our lead Phase 3 product, flurpiridaz F 18, a myocardial perfusion imaging agent, or MPI agent, 18F LMI1195, a cardiac neuronal imaging agent, and BMS 753951, for the identification of vascular plaque. We expect ongoing
31
investment in our clinical programs and research and development to remain an important component of our business strategy.
We market our products globally and have operations in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada and Australia and distribution relationships in Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America.
Our Products
Our principal products include DEFINITY, an ultrasound contrast agent, Cardiolite, a myocardial perfusion imaging agent, and TechneLite, a generator used to provide the radioisotope to radiolabel Cardiolite and other radiopharmaceuticals. We launched DEFINITY in 2001 and it is currently patent protected in the United States until 2021 and in numerous foreign jurisdictions with protection until 2019. Cardiolite was approved by the FDA in 1990 and its market exclusivity expired in July 2008.
In the United States, our nuclear imaging products, including Cardiolite and TechneLite, are primarily distributed through over 350 radiopharmacies that are controlled by or associated with Cardinal, UPPI, Triad Isotopes, Inc., or Triad, and GE Healthcare. A small portion of our sales of nuclear imaging products in the United States are made through our direct sales force to hospitals and clinics that maintain their own in-house radiopharmaceutical capabilities. Sales of our contrast agents, including DEFINITY, are made through our direct sales force of approximately 84 people in the United States. Outside the United States, we own five radiopharmacies in Canada and two radiopharmacies in each of Puerto Rico and Australia. We also maintain a direct sales force in each of these countries. In the rest of the world, we rely on third-party distributors to market, distribute and sell our nuclear imaging and contrast agent products, either on a country-by-country basis or on a multi-country regional basis.
The following table sets forth our revenue derived from our principal products:

Key Factors Affecting Our Results
Our business and financial performance have been, and continue to be, affected by the following:
Inventory Supply
We currently rely on BVL for sole source manufacturing of DEFINITY and Neurolite. We also rely on BVL as our primary manufacturer of our Cardiolite product supply. In July 2010, BVL implemented a planned shutdown of the facility where it manufactures products for a number of customers, including us, in order to upgrade the facility to meet certain regulatory requirements. In anticipation of this shutdown, BVL manufactured for us additional inventory of these products to meet our expected needs during the shutdown period which was anticipated to end in March 2011. Because the shutdown and restart activities took substantially longer than anticipated by either BVL or us, we could not meet all of the demand for certain products during the second half of 2011 and the first half of 2012, resulting in overall revenue decline in comparison to the prior periods. BVL resumed
32
manufacturing certain of our products in May 2012. After BVL released the first lot of newly-manufactured DEFINITY in June 2012, we shipped product to our customers in late June and early July. We are currently working closely with BVL to complete the quality review and commercial release process for the remaining lots BVL has recently manufactured for us, a process we believe should be completed in the next several weeks. We continue to work to restore full and normal production of all of our BVL-manufactured products as well as to build a sufficient inventory to appropriately serve all of our customers. We can give no assurances that the remaining product that BVL has recently manufactured for us will successfully complete the quality review and commercial release process, or that BVL will be able to manufacture product for us on a timely and consistent basis in the future.
We have also expedited a number of technology transfer programs to secure and qualify production of our BVL-manufactured products to alternate contract manufacturing sites. Currently, we are utilizing an alternate manufacturer for Cardiolite and have entered into separate manufacturing and supply agreements with Jubilant HollisterStier ("JHS") for the manufacture of each of DEFINITY, Cardiolite and Neurolite. We are also pursuing new manufacturing relationships to establish and secure additional long-term or alternative suppliers of Cardiolite, Neurolite and DEFINITY, but we are uncertain of the timing as to when the new arrangements with JHS and any other supply arrangement would provide meaningful quantities of product to us. If BVL is not able to provide us adequate product supply for a further prolonged period of time, we are unable to regain sufficient market share, or we are not able to obtain adequate amounts of such products from alternate suppliers (including DEFINITY, Cardiolite and Neurolite from JHS), our financial results will be negatively impacted and we will need to implement additional expense reductions such as a potential delay of discretionary spending including possible reductions in sales and marketing and research and development activities, as well as other operating and strategic initiatives.
Global Moly Supply
Historically, our largest supplier of Moly, our highest volume raw material, has been Nordion, which has relied on the NRU reactor in Chalk River, Ontario. This reactor was off-line from May 2009 until August 2010 due to a heavy water leak in the reactor vessel. As part of the conditions for the recent relicensing of the NRU reactor from 2011 to 2016, the Canadian government has asked Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, or AECL, to shut down the reactor for at least four weeks at least once a year for inspection and maintenance. The scheduled 2012 shutdown period ran from mid-April 2012 until mid-May 2012, and during such period we were able to fulfill substantially all of our customer demand for Moly from our other suppliers.
During the 2009 to 2010 period when the NRU reactor was off-line, instability in the global supply of Moly and supply shortages resulted in substantial volatility in the cost of Moly in comparison to historical costs. We were able to pass some of these Moly cost increases on to our customers through our customer contracts. Additionally, the instability in the global supply of Moly during such period resulted in Moly producers requiring, in exchange for fixed Moly prices, supply minimums in the form of take-or-pay obligations. With less Moly, we manufactured fewer TechneLite generators for radiopharmacies and hospitals to make up unit doses of Cardiolite, resulting in decreased sales of TechneLite and Cardiolite in favor of other diagnostic modalities that did not use Moly during the 2009 to 2010 period when the NRU reactor was off-line.
Growth of DEFINITY
We believe the market opportunity for our contrast agent, DEFINITY, remains quite significant. As we better educate the physician and healthcare provider community about the benefits and risks of this product, we believe we will experience further penetration of suboptimal echocardiograms. Prior to the supply issues with BVL, sales of DEFINITY have continually increased quarter over quarter since June 2008, when we were able to modify the boxed warning on DEFINITY. Unit sales of DEFINITY
33
had decreased substantially in late 2007 and early 2008 as a result of an FDA request in October 2007 that all manufacturers of ultrasound contrast agents add a boxed warning to their products to notify physicians and patients about potentially serious safety concerns or risks posed by the products. However, in May 2008, the boxed warning was modified by the FDA in response to the substantial advocacy efforts of prescribing physicians. Since then, DEFINITY sales have continually increased quarter over quarter. In October 2011, we received FDA approval of further modifications to the DEFINITY label, including: further relaxing the boxed warning; eliminating the sentence in the Indication and Use section "The safety and efficacy of DEFINITY with exercise stress or pharmacologic stress testing have not been established" (previously added in October 2007 in connection with the imposition of the box warning); and including summary data from the post-approval CaRES (Contrast echocardiography Registry for Safety Surveillance) safety registry and the post-approval pulmonary hypertension study. DEFINITY is currently the only echocardiography contrast agent able to benefit from these label modifications. However, as discussed above under "Inventory Supply", until we are able to restore full and normal production of all of our BVL-manufactured products with BVL or alternate suppliers, as well as to build sufficient inventory to appropriately serve all of our customers, the continued growth of our DEFINITY sales will be negatively impacted.
Demand for TechneLite
Following the global Moly supply challenge in 2009-2010, we have experienced reduced demand for TechneLite generators from pre-shortage levels even though volume has increased in absolute terms from shortage levels following the return of our normal Moly supply in August 2010. Although, we do not know if Technetium demand will ever return to pre-shortage levels, we believe we will experience some increase in sales of TechneLite generators.
We believe that TechneLite unit volume has not returned to pre-shortage levels for a number of reasons, including: (i) changing staffing and utilization practices in radiopharmacies, which have resulted in increased efficiencies in the preparation of unit doses of Technetium-based radiopharmaceuticals; (ii) shifts to alternative diagnostic imaging modalities during the 2009-10 Moly supply shortage, which have not returned to Technetium-based procedures; and (iii) decreased amounts of Technetium being used in unit-doses of Technetium-based radiopharmaceuticals due to increased concerns about patient radiation dose exposure. We also believe that there has been an overall decline in the MPI study market because of decreased levels of patient studies during the Moly shortage period that have not returned to pre-shortage levels and industry-wide cost-containment initiatives that have resulted in a transition of where imaging procedures are performed from free standing imaging centers to the hospital setting. We expect these factors will continue to affect Technetium demand in the future.
Cardiolite Competitive Pressures
Cardiolite's market exclusivity expired in July 2008. In September 2008, the first of several competing generic products to Cardiolite was launched. With continued pricing pressure from generic competitors, we also sell our Cardiolite product in the form of a generic sestamibi at the same time as we continue to sell branded Cardiolite throughout the MPI segment. We believe this strategy of selling branded as well as generic sestamibi allows us to maintain total segment share by having multiple sestamibi offerings that are attractive in terms of brand, as well as price.
In addition to pricing pressure due to generics, our Cardiolite products have also faced a share decline in the MPI segment due to a change in professional society appropriateness guidelines, on-going reimbursement pressures, the limited availability of Moly during the NRU reactor shutdown, the limited availability of Cardiolite products to us during the BVL outage, and the increase in use of other diagnostic modalities as a result of a shift to more available imaging agents and modalities. Prior
34
to the BVL-related supply challenges, we believe we had been able to maintain share for our branded product in a generic segment, because of brand awareness, loyalty to the agent within the cardiology community and our strong relationships with our distribution partners.
Increases in Research and Development Expenses
To compete successfully in the marketplace, we must make substantial investments in new product development. As a result, research and development expenses are a key factor that has historically affected our results and will continue to do so in the future. We expect that research and development expenses will fluctuate depending primarily on the timing and outcomes of clinical trials, related manufacturing initiatives and the results of our decisions based on these outcomes. We expect to incur substantial additional expenses over the next several years for clinical trials related to our product development candidates, including flurpiridaz F 18, 18F LMI1195 and BMS 753951. We also expect manufacturing expenses for some programs included in research and development expenses to increase as we support our manufacturing infrastructure for later stages of clinical development.
Executive Overview
The following have impacted our results in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012:
For the remainder of 2012, until we are able to restore full and normal production of all of our BVL-manufactured products, as well as to build sufficient inventory to appropriately serve all of our customers, or obtain adequate supply from JHS, our results of operations will be negatively impacted. We believe this will be partially mitigated following the return of sustained DEFINITY supply and the expected continuation of DEFINITY sales growth.

Total revenues decreased $33.7 million, or 37.2%, to $56.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $90.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011.

The decrease in revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to the BVL shutdown impacting our supply of DEFINITY, Cardiolite, and Neurolite. See "Key Factors Affecting Our ResultsInventory Supply." TechneLite sales decreased given lower volume. Offsetting these decreases were increases in revenue for the U.S. segment of Xenon, as a result of price increases. Additional increases in revenue relating only to the six month period ended June 30, 2012 for the International segment related to ligand revenue, an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient ("API") for Neurolite.
Rebates, Discounts and Allowances
Estimates for rebates, discounts and allowances represent our estimated obligations under contractual arrangements with third parties. Rebate accruals and allowances are recorded in the same
37
period the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction in product revenue and the establishment of a liability which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. These rebates result from performance-based offers that are primarily based on attaining contractually specified sales volumes and growth, Medicaid rebate programs for certain products, administration fees of group purchasing organizations and certain distributor related commissions. The calculation of the accrual for these rebates and allowances is based on an estimate of the third party's buying patterns and the resulting applicable contractual rebate or commission rate(s) to be earned over a contractual period.
Revenue reserves are categorized as rebates or allowances. An analysis of the amount of, and change in, reserves is summarized as follows:

Sales rebates and other accruals were approximately $1.3 million and $1.4 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The increase in the accrual resulted principally from the full year impact in 2011 of the addition of contracts with rebate rights in the second half of 2010. In October 2010, we entered into a Medicaid Drug Rebate Agreement for certain of our products which did not have a material impact on our results of operations. If the demand for these products through the Medicaid program increases in the future, our rebates associated with this program could increase and could have a material impact on future results of operations.
Costs of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold consists of manufacturing, distribution, definite lived intangible asset amortization and other costs related to our commercial products. In addition, it includes the write off of excess and obsolete inventory.
Cost of goods sold is summarized as follows:

The primary contributing factor to the decrease in cost of goods in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 for the U.S. segment were prior period write-offs totaling $38.9 million for Ablavar intangible property, inventory and recording of loss contract reserves, reduced product costs in 2012 as a result of lower TechneLite, DEFINITY and Cardiolite sales and lower intangible amortization expense. These decreases were offset in part, by increases of $1.9 million and $3.0 million in the three and six months, respectively, associated with technology transfer costs related to DEFINITY.
The increase in cost of goods in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 for the International segment was primarily due to higher manufacturing costs in our radiopharmacies, as well as a temporary increase associated with third party sestamibi being utilized by radiopharmacies as a result of the lack of Cardiolite supply.

The increase in gross profit in the three months ended June 30, 2012 for the U.S. segment was due to prior period Ablavar write-offs noted above and lower intangible amortization expense. These lower expenses were partially offset by decreased profits from TechneLite due to lower volume. We also experienced lower profits from DEFINITY, Cardiolite and Neurolite caused by supply issues resulting from the BVL shutdown.

2011. We incurred less intangible amortization expense since a number of our intangibles are amortized on an accelerated method. In addition, we earned higher profits on Xenon due to price increases.
The decrease in gross profit in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 for our International segment was a result of lower Cardiolite volumes related to the product shortage in certain markets and lower TechneLite volume. These decreases were partially offset by increases in gross profit due to generic sestamibi purchased from third parties as a temporary substitute for Cardiolite. Relating only to the six month period, we incurred higher profits in 2012 from Neurolite ligand which is unaffected by the product shortage.

The increase in general and administrative expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 for the U.S. segment was primarily due to external legal fees in connection with our suit seeking to recover business interruption losses. In addition, we saw an increase in general and administrative expense due to modifications to stock option agreements, contractor support, recruitment expense and severance costs related to a reduction in workforce in the first quarter of 2012. Relating only to the three month period ended June 30, 2012, we saw a decrease in variable compensation during the second quarter of 2011. Offsetting these increases in the three and six month period was an overall lower external support for information technology and accounting services.

The increase in research and development expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 for the U.S. segment was primarily due to the timing of clinical activity related to our flurpiridaz F 18 program as we continued to actively enroll patients and activate sites for our Phase III trial. During the same period in 2011, we were primarily in the planning and preparation stage for our flurpiridaz F 18 Phase III trial enrolling first patient during the second quarter of 2011. This increase in clinical activity in 2012 resulted in increased external costs related to our clinical research organization ("CRO"), investigator expense, drug products, lab supplies, and consultants. Offsetting these increases, were decreases caused by our reduction in workforce in the second quarter of 2011. In addition, relating only to the three month period ended June 30, 2012 was a decrease in variable compensation in the second quarter of 2011.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities represent the cash receipts and disbursements related to all of our activities other than investing and financing activities. Cash provided by operating activities is primarily driven by our earnings and changes in working capital. The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to 2011 was primarily driven by the receipt of the $34.2 million BVL settlement less the impact of decreased unit sales associated with the BVL shutdown. Favorable operating cash was also driven by an amended purchase agreement for one of our products of which $15.0 million of required purchases were made during the six months ended June 30, 2011, versus $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 primarily reflect the purchase of property and equipment.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Our primary historical uses of cash in financing activities are principal payments on our term loan and line of credit as well as dividends to Holdings, our parent. On March 21, 2011, we issued an additional $150.0 million of Notes at 9.750% per annum.
Internal Sources of Liquidity
Our internal sources of liquidity are derived from cash and cash equivalents of $56.9 million as of June 30, 2012, as well as revenues primarily from the sale of Cardiolite, Technelite and DEFINITY.
External Sources of Liquidity
Since 2010, in addition to revenues provided by the sales of our products, our primary source of external liquidity has been the proceeds from the issuance of the $400.0 million 9.750% Senior Notes due in May of 2017. In addition to the Notes, we have an outstanding $42.5 million revolving credit facility (the "Facility") that bears interest at either LIBOR plus 3.75% or the Reference Rate (as defined in the agreement) plus 2.75%. The Facility expires on May 10, 2014, at which time all outstanding borrowings are due and payable.
As of June 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants. As of June 30, 2012 and the date hereof, there were no amounts outstanding under the Facility (other than an $8.8 million unfunded Standby Letter of Credit) and the aggregate borrowing capacity was $33.7 million. The availability under the Facility decreased in the quarter ended June 30, 2012 due to the Company increasing the unfunded Standby Letter of Credit from $4.4 million to $8.8 million to support a surety bond related to a statutory decommissioning obligation we have in connection with our Billerica facility, and expires on February 2, 2013.
44
If BVL is not able to provide us adequate supply of DEFINITY, Cardiolite and Neurolite for a further prolonged period of time, we are unable to regain sufficient market share, or we are not able to obtain adequate supply of such products from alternative suppliers, we will need to implement certain expense reductions such as a delay of discretionary spending including possible reductions in sales and marketing and research and development activities, as well as other operating and strategic initiatives. Despite these initiatives, because our prior inventory of DEFINITY, Cardiolite and Neurolite from BVL is exhausted, our third quarter 2012 results will be negatively impacted and we could be in default with one or more of the financial ratio covenants in the Facility in 2012. If this were to occur, we would seek either an additional amendment to the Facility or a waiver or consent in connection with the appropriate financial covenants to eliminate such potential default. There can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain an amendment, waiver or consent from our lenders. Any financial covenant default under the Facility will not result in a cross-default under the Indenture that governs the Notes unless the amount outstanding under the Facility is greater than $10 million and the lenders accelerate the repayment of such debt. Currently there is $8.8 million outstanding under the Facility in the form of an issued but undrawn letter of credit. Consequently, based on amounts outstanding as of the date of this report, a financial ratio covenant default under the Facility would only impact our ability to borrow under the Facility.
We may from time to time repurchase or otherwise retire our debt and take other steps to reduce our debt or otherwise improve our balance sheet. These actions may include open market repurchases of any notes outstanding, prepayments of our term loans or other retirements or refinancing of outstanding debt. The amount of debt that may be repurchased or otherwise retired, if any, would be decided upon at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on market conditions, trading levels of our debt from time to time, our cash position and other considerations.
Funding Requirements
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

If our capital resources become insufficient to meet our future capital requirements, we would need to finance our cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, sale-leasebacks or other financing or strategic alternatives, to the extent such transactions are permissible under the covenants of the Facility and the Indenture. Additional equity or debt financing, or other transactions, may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If any of these transactions require an amendment or waiver under the covenants in the Facility and under the Indenture, which could result in additional expenses associated with obtaining the amendment or waiver, we will seek to obtain such a waiver to remain in compliance with the covenants of the Facility and the Indenture. However, we cannot be assured that such an amendment or waiver would be granted, or that additional capital will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
Our only current committed external source of funds is borrowing availability under the Facility. We generated a net loss of $3.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and had $56.9 million of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2012. Based on our current operating plans, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and results of operations will be sufficient to continue to fund our liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, if BVL is not able to provide us with an adequate product supply for a further prolonged period of time, we are unable to regain sufficient market share, or we are not successful with our JHS technology transfer programs in 2012 and we cannot obtain adequate supply from JHS, we will need to implement additional expense reductions, such as a potential delay of discretionary spending including possible reductions in sales and marketing and research and development activities, as well as other operating and strategic initiatives. Depending upon the status of our product supply, customer demand and expense management, we could be in default with one or more of the financial ratio covenants in the Facility in 2012 and, as a result, may not have access to funds under the Facility. In such event, we will seek to obtain an amendment or waiver to remain in compliance with the covenants of the Facility; however, we cannot be assured that such an amendment or waiver will be granted.
Contractual Obligations
Contractual obligations represent future cash commitments and liabilities under agreements with third parties and exclude contingent contractual liabilities for which we cannot reasonably predict future payment, including contingencies related to potential future development, financing, certain suppliers, contingent royalty payments and/or scientific, regulatory, or commercial milestone payments under development agreements. The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2012:

Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial position and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition and related allowances, inventory, impairments of long-lived assets including intangible assets, impairments of goodwill, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, valuation of investments, research and development expenses, contingencies and litigation, and share-based payments.
Please read Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, for a discussion of our critical accounting estimates. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies in the six months ended June 30, 2012.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Since inception, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, including structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We do not currently hold or issue financial instruments to reduce these risks or for trading purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with the Facility, which is variable rate indebtedness. Interest rate changes could increase the amount of our interest payments and thus negatively impact our future earnings and cash flows. As of June 30, 2012, there was no amount outstanding under the Facility (other than a $8.8 million unfunded Standby Letter of Credit, which reduces availability to $33.7 million). Any increase in the interest rate under the Facility may have a negative impact on our future earnings.
Foreign Currency Risk
We face exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates whenever we, or any of our subsidiaries, enter into transactions with third parties that are denominated in currencies other than our, or its, functional currency. Intercompany transactions between entities that use different functional currencies also expose us to foreign currency risk. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the net impact of foreign currency changes on transactions was a loss of $0.3 million and a gain of $0.1 million, respectively. Historically, we have not used derivative financial instruments or other financial instruments to hedge such economic exposures.
Gross margins of products we manufacture at our U.S. plants and sell in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar are also affected by foreign currency exchange rate movements. Our gross margin on total revenue for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was 28.8% and 25.0%, respectively. If the U.S. Dollar had been stronger by 1%, 5% or 10%, compared to the actual rates during the six months ended June 30, 2012, we estimate our gross margin on total sales would have been 28.8%, 29.0% and 29.1%, respectively. If the U.S. Dollar had been stronger by 1%, 5% or 10%, compared to the actual rates during the six months ended June 30, 2011, we estimate our gross margin on total net product sales would have been 25.0%, 25.1% and 25.2%, respectively.
47
In addition, a portion of our earnings is generated by our foreign subsidiaries, whose functional currencies are other than the U.S. Dollar (in which we report our consolidated financial results); our earnings could be materially impacted by movements in foreign currency exchange rates upon the translation of the earnings of such subsidiaries into the U.S. Dollar.
If the U.S. Dollar had been uniformly stronger by 1%, 5% or 10%, compared to the actual average exchange rates used to translate the financial results of our foreign subsidiaries, our net product sales and net income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 would have been impacted by approximately the following amounts:

Approximate Decrease in Net Revenue |

If the U.S. Dollar had been uniformly stronger by 1%, 5% or 10%, compared to the actual average exchange rates used to translate the financial results of our foreign subsidiaries, our net product sales and net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 would have been impacted by approximately the following amounts:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures; as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
48
From time to time, we are a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, we have in the past been, and may in the future be, subject to investigations by regulatory authorities which expose it to greater risks associated with litigation, regulatory or other proceedings, as a result of which we could be required to pay significant fines or penalties. The outcome of litigation, regulatory or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and some lawsuits, claims, actions or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to us. In addition, intellectual property disputes often have a risk of injunctive relief which, if imposed against us, could materially and adversely affect its financial condition or results of operations.
On December 16, 2010, we filed suit against one of our insurance carriers seeking to recover business interruption losses associated with the NRU reactor shutdown and the ensuing global Moly supply challenge (Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc., Plaintiff v. Zurich American Insurance Company, Defendant, United States District Court, Southern District of New York, Case No. 10 Civ 9371). The claim is the result of the shutdown of the NRU reactor in Chalk River, Ontario. The NRU reactor was off-line from May 2009 until August 2010 due to a "heavy water" leak in the reactor vessel. The defendant answered the complaint on January 21, 2011, denying substantially all of the allegations, presenting certain defenses and requesting dismissal of the case with costs and disbursements. On April 4, 2011, the parties had their first pre-trial conference in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and discovery has commenced and is continuing. We cannot be certain what amount, if any, or when, if ever, we will be able to recover for business interruption losses related to this matter.
Except as noted above, as of June 30, 2012, we had no material ongoing litigation, regulatory or other proceeding and had no knowledge of any investigations by governmental or regulatory authorities in which we are a target that could have a material adverse effect on our current business.
There have been no changes in the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. For further information, refer to Part IItem IA. "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

HSL agrees to notify LMI as soon as practicable upon HSLs learning of the occurrence of any such debarment, conviction, investigation or inquiry relating to a potential debarment, suspension or exclusion, of any person performing services pursuant to this Agreement and agrees that said person shall be immediately prohibited from performing services under this Agreement.
(c) No Conflict. Each Party warrants and represents that no trade secrets or other confidential information of any other person, firm, corporation, institution or other entity will be wrongfully disclosed by it to the other Party or any third party in connection with any of the services called for hereunder. Each Party further warrants and represents that none of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the services which will be performed by HSL pursuant to the work to be performed hereunder, contravenes or is in conflict with any agreement of such Party or its Affiliates with, or obligation to, any other person, firm, corporation, institution or other entity including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, employment agreements, consulting agreements, service agreements, disclosure agreements or agreements for assignment of inventions. HSL shall not subcontract with any third party or use Affiliates or agents to perform any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of LMI (not to be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned). HSL shall cause all of its employees and any permitted subcontractor, agent or Affiliate to be bound by, and to comply with, all confidentiality, quality assurance, regulatory and other obligations and requirements as set forth in this Agreement.
2.2 Purchase and Sale. HSL shall manufacture, sell and deliver to LMI, and LMI shall purchase from HSL, the Product for jurisdictions in the Territory (with respect to each such jurisdiction, following HSLs qualification to manufacture Product in such jurisdiction) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The following provisions shall apply with respect to these Products:
(a) Forecasts; Orders. (i) LMI shall send to HSL a **** (****) month forecast (the Initial Forecast) for the volume of Product which LMI expects to have delivered from HSL during such ****-month period. LMI shall provide the Initial Forecast for Product to HSL within **** (****) days after HSL is approved as a supplier of Product under the Product NDA. LMI shall thereafter update such forecast at least **** prior to the first business day of each calendar month thereafter (a Subsequent Forecast, and together with the Initial Forecast, a Forecast), providing HSL with a rolling **** (****) month forecast for Product. Each Forecast shall include an estimated number of Batches for each month during the ****-month period covered by such Forecast. Amounts set forth in a Forecast are estimates, to be used for planning purposes only, and Forecasts shall not constitute binding purchase orders, except that the first **** (****) months of each Forecast shall be binding upon LMI and LMI shall place purchase orders corresponding to the binding portion of such Forecast. In the event LMI does not place purchase orders against the binding portion of a Forecast, HSL may (but shall not be required to) deem such binding Forecast as a purchase order for Product covered by the binding portion of the Forecast. HSL will use all commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate any changes in quantities of Product ordered by LMI.
(ii) Subject to the terms of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, Sections 5.1, 5.5 and 9.5), LMI agrees that, during each calendar year of this Agreement (with a pro-rata adjustment as applicable for any portion thereof), it shall place orders with HSL for at least **** percent (****%) of its aggregate requirements for Product in the jurisdictions in the Territory where HSL is approved as a qualified supplier of the Product. This requirement shall commence on a country-by-country basis in the Territory on the **** (****) day after HSL is qualified as a supplier of the Product under the applicable regulatory approval in such country and end on the earlier of the termination or expiration of this Agreement. In addition, this requirement is expressly conditioned upon reasonably acceptable notice of HSLs approval as a supplier of Product for a jurisdiction in the Territory. During any period in which HSLs manufacture for a jurisdiction is not in compliance with cGMPs for such jurisdiction and/or not in material compliance with the applicable laws of such jurisdiction, LMIs requirements for such jurisdiction shall not be included in the aggregate requirements of LMI for purposes of computing the amount of Product required to be ordered from HSL. In the event HSL cannot fill a purchase order issued in accordance with a Forecast, the quantities in such purchase order shall be deemed to have been ordered from HSL for purposes of LMIs requirements for placing orders pursuant to this section. For purposes
of clarity, the Parties acknowledge that the aggregate requirements for Product set forth above include both LMIs and its Affiliates requirements for such Product and that HSLs rights set forth in Section 2.2(a)(iv) of this Agreement extend to the books and records of both LMI and its Affiliates.
(iii) Without limiting HSLs remedies in the event of a breach of the preceding paragraph, in the event LMI fails to order the requirements set forth above the Parties may discuss and agree on making HSL whole (including recovery of lost profits), such as by way of example through one or more of the following mechanisms: ****.
(iv) LMI shall maintain accurate and complete books and records of its purchases for the jurisdictions in the Territory where HSL is a qualified supplier of the Product as to enable LMI and its Affiliates to verify their purchases of Product in such jurisdictions. Upon reasonable advance written notice and subject to a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to LMI, at the written request of HSL, LMI shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm or consultant selected by HSL and reasonably acceptable to LMI to have access during normal business hours to such of the records of LMI as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of LMIs orders for the immediately preceding calendar year.
(v) LMI will establish performance parameters and weightings for the Product to determine a performance score (Score) and communicate the same to HSL prior to each calendar year. For each calendar year from and after the calendar year in which HSL commences commercial manufacturing of the Product pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(ii) (each a Subject Year) if in the immediately preceding calendar year or portion thereof (each a Scoring Year) HSL achieved the highest Score with respect to the Product among LMIs qualified suppliers of such Product, then the minimum percentage requirement of Section 2.2(a)(ii) of this Agreement relating to such Product shall increase from **** percent (****%) to **** percent (****%) for the then current Subject Year, as if **** percent (****%) was set forth in Section 2.2(a)(ii). Within **** (****) days after the end of each Scoring Year, LMI shall send to HSL a written notice of HSLs Score for such Scoring Year (including the calculation of same) and a statement as to whether HSL had the highest Score. In the event HSL is determined not to have the highest Score, then, within **** (****) days after the end of such Scoring Year, upon reasonable advance written notice and subject to a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to LMI, LMI shall permit an independent industry expert selected by HSL and reasonably acceptable to LMI to confirm LMIs assessment of the highest Score for the immediately preceding Scoring Year, provided that such experts report to HSL shall be limited to an indication from such expert that LMI is in compliance or out of compliance with the methodology for such Scoring Year.
(b) Purchase Orders; Rejection of Orders. LMI will provide HSL with a firm purchase order at least **** (****) days prior to the earliest delivery date specified in such purchase order. All purchase orders will be in multiples of the minimum Batch size. All purchase orders will be sent by facsimile or electronic mail to the address specified by HSL. HSL shall use commercially reasonable efforts to accept each purchase order and confirm the date of manufacturing and shipment within **** (****) business days of
receipt thereof. For purposes of clarity, the Parties acknowledge and agree that HSL shall use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule the date of manufacture not more than **** (****) days prior to the delivery date. Such purchase order shall be deemed accepted by HSL if HSL does not reject a purchase order within the **** business-day period. In addition, HSL will use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate any increase in quantities of Product Forecasted by LMI. LMI reserves the right to cancel or postpone any purchase order after acceptance by HSL subject to the fees payable as set forth below. Unless otherwise agreed to by a duly authorized representative of HSL in writing, however, should LMI cancel or postpone all or any portion of any purchase order (or deemed purchase order pursuant to section 2.2(a)) for commercial or pre-commercial batches within **** (****) calendar days of the acceptance date of such purchase order, LMI shall pay HSL a fee of **** for each vial in a cancelled or postponed purchase order. Should LMI cancel or postpone all or any portion of any purchase order (or deemed purchase order pursuant to section 2.2(a)) for pre-commercial or commercial batches between **** (****) and **** (****) calendar days of the acceptance date, LMI shall pay HSL a fee of **** for each vial in a cancelled or postponed purchase order. LMI shall not cancel or postpone all or any portion of any purchase order (or deemed purchase order pursuant to Section 2.2(a)) after **** (****) days after the acceptance date of such purchase order. HSL will make a good faith effort to ****.
(c) Prices. Commercial pricing for Product supplied by HSL shall be based on the amounts of Product purchased for each calendar year, as set forth in Exhibit 1.3. Because the Parties do not know the amount of Product that will be purchased in a calendar year, the estimated price will be invoiced by HSL and adjusted as provided herein. The estimated price will be based upon the most recent Forecast provided by LMI. For purposes of calculating the price per vial, LMI shall be credited with purchasing amounts ordered from HSL (in each case up to ****% of Forecasted amounts, e.g., if LMI orders 200% of the Forecasted amounts, and HSL is able to supply only 100% of the Forecasted amounts, LMI would receive credit for ****% of the Forecasted Amounts), but, in the Parties reasonable and good faith determination, could not be supplied by HSL through no fault of LMI, and the registration lots shall be deemed to be commercial quantities of Product ordered by LMI during the first calendar year of commercial production. Pricing does not include stability testing since stability testing is being conducted by LMI.
Beginning on **** and on each succeeding anniversary thereafter during the term of this Agreement, prices in the then current schedule of vial prices shall be increased by ****. Price increases shall be effective for all new purchase orders placed after the applicable anniversary. Pricing for pre-commercial and other activities is as in the Proposal, and shall be paid on the schedule set forth therein or, if none is set forth therein, then as provided in Section 2.4.
(d) Superiority of Agreement. The terms of this Agreement and of the Quality Agreements shall prevail over any inconsistent terms in any proposal, purchase order, acknowledgment or invoice, and no additional terms other than those set forth in this Agreement and the Quality Agreements or allowed pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.2 in a purchase order, acknowledgement or invoice shall be binding on either Party.
2.3 Delivery.
(a) Schedule; Quantities. HSL will ship, and LMI will take delivery, of all Product within **** (****) days of the delivery date set forth in the applicable accepted purchase order. In the event that HSL, at any time during the term of this Agreement, has reason to believe that it will be unable to perform any of the services under this Agreement or meet the requested delivery date(s) specified in the purchase orders, HSL shall promptly notify LMI in writing of such delay(s) within **** (****) business days of such determination. In the event that a Lot is delivered less than **** days after the specified delivery date, HSL shall not be liable, but if delivered **** (****) or more days after the specified delivery date which had previously been accepted by HSL, as LMIs sole remedy therefor, HSL will invoice LMI for such Lot at ****. Cost of shipping, customs, duties and tariffs will be the responsibility of LMI.
(b) Terms of Delivery. Delivery terms shall be FCA HSLs manufacturing facility (which shall be HSLs facility in Spokane, WA), at which time risk of loss and responsibility for Product will transfer to LMI. FCA has the meaning assigned it in the ICC Incoterms, 2010. HSL shall ship the Product using LMIs designated carrier in accordance with LMIs instructions regarding destination, delivery date, temperature control and such other factors as LMI reasonably believes are relevant for purposes of the delivery. HSL shall ship all Product to the locations designated by LMI.
2.4 Payment Terms. Invoices for commercial Product will reflect actual quantities of Product properly delivered in accordance with the applicable purchase order. Invoicing for commercial Product will be initiated by HSL upon HSLs review and approval of the Batch records and other certifications and documentation for such Product. All undisputed portions of invoices issued by HSL to LMI shall be paid within **** (****) days after the date of receipt of the corresponding invoice. Such payments shall be made in U.S. dollars by check or wire transfer or by such other method as HSL and LMI shall reasonably designate from time to time. In no event shall LMI be responsible for any payments related to Product for which HSL was unable to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement, whether by Force Majeure Event or otherwise. Interest shall be payable on all undisputed amounts not paid on the due date at a rate of ****% for each month the amounts remain unpaid.
2.5 **** Qualification. LMI shall have the right to qualify **** as a manufacturer of Product, and to seek and obtain regulatory approval(s) of such ****. If LMI desires to exercise its rights in this Section 2.5, LMI shall notify HSL of such decision in writing (**** Qualification Notice). Upon receipt of such **** Qualification Notice, the Parties will agree in good faith upon a reasonable schedule for commencement and completion of the **** qualification. Any **** qualification under this provision will be pursuant to a protocol established by LMI and mutually agreed to by the Parties. Such Protocol shall include the delivery of copies of relevant Product-specific documents required to carry out the **** qualification. HSL hereby agrees to use reasonable efforts to ****. LMI shall pay **** as well as **** in carrying out the requested **** qualification, provided that **** has been made available to LMI.
2.6 Inventory; Packaging Information. HSL shall, at all times commencing ****
(****) days after LMIs first Forecast, during the Term, maintain inventory levels of components and raw materials required to manufacture the volume of Products forecasted by LMI for the next **** pursuant to Section 2.2(a) of this Agreement. At HSLs option, within **** of each calendar year, LMI shall purchase from HSL, at the price paid by HSL, such unused raw materials and components in good, saleable condition purchased by HSL in reliance on Forecasts (as set forth above) that could not be returned to the original supplier by HSL or used by HSL in the supply of Product to LMI during such calendar year due to lower orders of Product than Forecast to the extent not the fault of HSL, it being understood that HSLs suppliers generally do not accept returns, unless the Parties mutually agree that such materials will be used in the following calendar year. LMI shall provide HSL with all packaging and labeling information and designs, if applicable, including without limitation, all art work and usage instructions to be applied to each Product at least **** (****) days in advance of any requirement that Product be delivered in packaged form to enable HSL to obtain the necessary packaging materials and meet such delivery requirements (provided, however, HSL shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate any changes requested by LMI with less than **** days advance notice). LMI will be fully responsible and liable for the content and format of all labeling and artwork provided by LMI and used in connection with the supply of Product hereunder. HSL shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the content and format of all labeling and artwork used in connection with the supply of the Product, as provided by LMI, are accurately and consistently produced in accordance with the Specifications. The Parties shall cooperate to ensure that all packaging and labeling information and materials are compatible with HSLs equipment and specifications.
2.7 Changes in Manufacturing Processes. HSL reserves the right to implement reasonable process changes and improvements for manufacturing the Product during the Term, at its cost, but in all instances subject to LMIs prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). HSL agrees to notify LMI promptly and in advance of any such change or improvement. If any such change or improvement requires, in LMIs reasonable judgment, regulatory approval, HSL will provide drafts of the proposed filing(s) to LMI for review and LMI will provide its approval or comments within **** (****) days from the date of receipt. In addition, HSL will make any changes to the process for manufacturing the Product requested by LMI, which changes shall be made at LMIs reasonable cost and expense (including the allocable cost of HSL personnel as evidenced by reasonable documentation made available to LMI). The Parties hereby agree to negotiate in good faith an adjustment to the **** of the Product to reflect any **** caused by the changes described in this Section 2.7. The Parties will in all events reasonably cooperate with the other Party in effecting any process changes or improvements reasonably requested by such Party.
2.8 API and Other LMI Materials. LMI will supply, at its expense, sufficient quantities of the LMI Materials to HSLs facility prior to **** (in no event less than **** (****) days prior to the ****) to enable HSL to meet its obligations hereunder. HSL will provide LMI with an inventory report for the LMI Materials on a **** basis (or as otherwise agreed to by the Parties). All such LMI Materials shall conform to the specifications agreed to by HSL and LMI. Title to the LMI Materials shall remain at all times with LMI.

During any such period LMI must pay all invoices upon delivery.
(d) If HSL is not a qualified supplier of Product in the United States under LMIs NDA for the Product before the end of the **** (****) **** of this Agreement, senior management of the Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any outstanding issues and to negotiate any necessary adjustments to the terms of this Agreement. For purposes of clarity, LMI acknowledges that it shall not have the right to extend this
Agreement for an additional five year period as described in Section 3.1 of this Agreement in the event that HSL is unable to be qualified as a supplier of Product in the United States before the end of the initial five-year term.
3.4 Effect of Expiration or Termination; Accrued Rights; Surviving Obligations. Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement:
(a) Product on Hand. HSL shall notify LMI of the amount of Product it has on hand as of the effective date of any termination or expiration as a result of purchase orders placed by LMI, and LMI shall purchase such Product at the applicable price as set forth in this Agreement, but LMI shall not be required to purchase any Product (i) that fails to meet Specifications, (ii) for which HSL is unable to provide the certificates of analysis specified in Section 5.4 of this Agreement, (iii) for which HSL is unable to provide the certificates of manufacturing compliance specified in Section 5.5, or (iv) that is appropriately rejected by LMI pursuant to Section 5.6. In addition LMI shall purchase from HSL, within **** (****) days of HSLs request, at the price paid by HSL, unused raw materials or components purchased or ordered by HSL pursuant to any binding portion of the Forecast issued by LMI (subject to different periods for certain materials and components if such periods are set forth in the Proposal or otherwise pre-approved by the Parties in writing) or pursuant to requirements for pre-commercial batches to the extent such materials or components are in good, saleable condition and cannot be returned to the original supplier by HSL (if such return is requested by LMI) it being understood that HSLs suppliers generally do not accept returns and LMI shall also pay HSLs reasonable out-of pocket expenses in connection with the foregoing returns. . Upon signing of this agreement or shortly thereafter, HSL will provide to LMI a list of components associated with the manufacturing of Product, showing the respective lead time for procurement. If LMI does not object to such lead times in writing within ten days of receipt then such lead times for the associated components shall be deemed to be pre-approved. If LMI objects, the Parties shall mutually agree on same.
(b) Regulatory Information. On and as of the effective date of any termination or expiration (other than for LMIs breach of insolvency), or such earlier date as LMI may reasonably request prior to an upcoming termination or expiration (but no earlier than **** months prior to such termination or expiration), HSL shall provide reasonable assistance at LMIs cost and expense (including payment of HSLs reasonable internal personnel costs as evidenced by reasonable documentation made available to LMI) in transitioning to another supplier. HSL shall, at LMIs request promptly provide to LMI **** in the case of all of the foregoing to the extent needed to enable LMI or a third party to manufacture and obtain regulatory approval for the Product for commercial sale. LMI and its nominees may only use any information of HSL received pursuant to this Section 3.4(b) and Section 2.5 in connection with the Product. LMI and its nominees shall keep such information confidential as Confidential Information of HSL.
(c) Orders in Progress. In the event of any termination or expiration of this Agreement, HSL shall, unless such termination has occurred because of a material uncured breach or default by LMI under this Agreement, or LMIs insolvency, notwithstanding the effective date of any termination or expiration, upon written request
of LMI, complete any purchase orders for Product that were placed by LMI and accepted by HSL prior to such date and LMI shall pay HSL for any Product produced in accordance with such purchase orders at the applicable price as set forth in this Agreement. Upon termination or expiration for any reason (other than HSLs breach or insolvency), LMI will pay HSL for services properly performed by HSL pursuant to one or more Proposals, including in process pre-commercial batches, including all initiated media fills, technical transfer study batches, process justification lots, process performance qualification/process validation lots and all components ordered in anticipation of conducting the foregoing.
(d) Terminal Supply; Post-Termination or Expiration Acceptance of Orders. Unless HSL terminates this Agreement pursuant to Sections 3.3(a) or 3.3(b), upon LMIs request, HSL shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide LMI with a terminal supply of Product pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the pricing set forth herein) for delivery not later than **** (****) months after the Term so as to minimize disruption of LMIs supply or sale of Products. Any acceptance by HSL of any purchase order from LMI or the sale of any Products by HSL to LMI after the delivery of notice of termination or after the expiration or termination of the Term shall not be construed as a renewal or extension of this Agreement or as a waiver of termination thereof.
(e) Prior Obligations. Termination or expiration of this Agreement, in whole or in part, for any reason shall be without prejudice to any rights which shall have accrued to the benefit of either Party prior to such termination or expiration, and such termination or expiration shall not relieve either Party from obligations which are expressly indicated to survive termination or expiration of the Term.
4. REGULATORY ISSUES.
4.1 Regulatory Obligations. All obligations relating to the Product NDA shall, at all times during the Term, remain with LMI, including without limitation (a) the obligation to prepare and make any updates or amendments to the Product NDA or CMC, (b) to pay any fees or other costs associated with such filings, or (c) to collect, investigate and report to the FDA and other appropriate regulatory authorities any Product-related adverse experience reports, quality reports, and complaint reports. HSL shall provide LMI with access to any such information reasonably required to enable LMI to comply with its obligations under this Section 4.1.

All information, documents and updates with regard to the manufacture of Product which are required by any governmental agency shall be provided by
HSL in a timely manner, and HSL shall submit to all inquiries and inspections by any such agencies. All documents directly related to the Product and a summary of all information provided by HSL to any such agency shall be provided to LMI in advance of submission to such agency. LMI shall not file any documents relating to HSL with regulatory authorities without HSLs prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. HSL shall provide comments on proposed submissions within five business days of receipt and in the absence of delivery of such comments LMI may proceed with its filing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LMI and HSL acknowledge that the regulatory support described in Proposal No. 973-8-20 sets forth the costs for filings in the Territory and the scope of HSLs responsibility for such filings. Any costs associated with additional applications will require a separate quotation as described in Proposal No. 973-8-20. LMI recognizes that HSL does not currently produce Products for several countries in the Territory and there can be no assurance HSL will be qualified in those or other countries in the Territory.
4.2 Product Recalls.
(a) If either Party reasonably decides or is required by any government authority or court of competent jurisdiction, to initiate a product recall, withdrawal or field correction with respect to, or if there is any governmental seizure of, the Product, the Party initiating or required to initiate such action will notify the other Party promptly of the details regarding such action, including providing copies of all relevant documentation concerning such action. The Parties will assist each other in investigating any such situation and all regulatory contacts that are made and all activities concerning seizure, recall, withdrawal or field correction will be jointly coordinated by HSL and LMI.
(b) If any such recall, withdrawal, field correction or seizure occurs due solely to (i) failure of any Product produced by HSL hereunder to conform to Specifications (including, without limitation, being adulterated or misbranded) or any warranty or other requirement set forth in this Agreement, (ii) the failure of HSL to comply in all material respects with any applicable law, rule, regulation, guideline, standard, court order or decree or (iii) the negligent or intentional wrongful act or omission of HSL in connection with the production of Product hereunder, then HSL shall bear the **** of any such seizure, recall, withdrawal or field correction and shall reimburse LMI for its ****, including any purchase price payments made to HSL and related taxes to the extent related to such recalled Product. To the extent any such recall, withdrawal, field correction or seizure occurs for any reason other than that set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, then LMI shall bear the **** of any such seizure, recall, withdrawal or field correction. If both HSL and LMI contribute to the cause of a seizure, recall, withdrawal or field correction, the cost and expense thereof will be shared in proportion to each Partys contribution to the problem. For the purposes of this Agreement, the expenses of any recall, withdrawal, field correction or seizure shall include, without limitation, the out-of-pocket expenses of notification and destruction or return of the recalled Product and all other out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such recall but shall not include a Partys lost profits. HSLs reimbursement for the costs of LMI Materials related to such recall, withdrawal or field correction is limited by Section 5.6(c).
4.3 Sharing of Information. HSL shall promptly advise LMI of any information of which it obtains knowledge that may affect the safety, efficacy or labelling of the Products and any actions in response to such information.
4.4. Adverse Events and Product Quality Complaints. The Parties agree to the following provisions regarding adverse events and complaints:

HSL shall also conduct an investigation in accordance with its normal procedures for complaints, inquiries or discoveries of that nature and promptly report the results of such investigation to LMI. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with and assist each other in connection with any such matter. In addition, HSL will ensure that all relevant personnel are sufficiently informed and trained on the terms and procedures outlined in this Agreement, including without limitation, the process for the receipt, recordation, exchange, communication and submission of safety data for the Product(s) and all relevant regulations and laws thereto. HSL agrees to document the training activities, including the training material(s) used, and make these documents reasonably accessible to LMI upon request.

LMI shall not use the format of HSLs underlying forms provided to it other than for the Product, and the same shall be HSLs Information. To the extent it is reasonably necessary or appropriate to fulfill its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement, a Party may disclose Information it is otherwise obligated under this Section not to disclose, to its Affiliates, employees, officers, directors, lenders,
sublicensees, consultants, outside contractors and clinical investigators on a need-to-know basis and on condition that such entities or persons agree in writing to only use such Information for purposes specifically authorized under this Agreement and to keep the Information confidential for the same time periods and to the same extent as such Party is required to keep the Information confidential; notwithstanding the foregoing the Party so disclosing Information will be liable to the other Party hereunder for any misuse or improper disclosure of any such Information by any such firms or individuals.

The indemnity agreement in this Article 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim, loss, damage or expense if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be withheld or delayed unreasonably. The failure of an Indemnitee to deliver notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after becoming aware of any such matter, if prejudicial to the Indemnitors ability to defend such action, shall relieve the Indemnitor of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Article 7 to the extent of such prejudice. The Indemnitee under this Article 7 and its directors, officers, employees and agents shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any matter covered by this indemnification.

2. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND PRODUCT SUPPLY TERMS
2.1 Services.
(a) Development. HSL shall perform development services in support of the manufacture of Product as defined by the Proposal(s) and for the compensation set forth for such development services in the Proposal(s). HSL hereby represents and warrants that it has the experience, capability and resources, including but not limited to sufficient personnel and supervisors, to efficiently and expeditiously perform such development services in a professional, competent and timely manner. HSL further represents and warrants that it will at all times devote the necessary personnel and supervisors to perform such development services and that, in fulfilling its obligations, HSL shall assign only persons with the appropriate training and qualifications to perform such services. LMI and HSL shall use commercially reasonable efforts to qualify HSL as a supplier of Product under the Product NDA.
(b) No Debarment. HSL represents that neither it, nor any of its employees, agents or consultants performing services under this Agreement, have been debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded by the FDA or any other regulatory authority from conducting business and, to the best of its knowledge after due inquiry, are not under consideration to be debarred, suspended or otherwise excluded. HSL agrees to notify LMI as soon as practicable upon HSLs learning of the occurrence of any such debarment, conviction, investigation or inquiry relating to a potential debarment, suspension or exclusion, of any person performing services pursuant to this Agreement and agrees that said person shall be immediately prohibited from performing services under this Agreement.
(c) No Conflict. Each Party warrants and represents that no trade secrets or other confidential information of any other person, firm, corporation, institution or other entity will be wrongfully disclosed by it to the other Party or any third party in connection with any of the services called for hereunder. Each Party further warrants and represents that none of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the services which will be performed by HSL pursuant to the work to be performed hereunder, contravenes or is in conflict with any agreement of such Party or its Affiliates with, or obligation to, any other person, firm, corporation, institution or other entity including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, employment agreements, consulting agreements, service agreements, disclosure agreements or agreements for assignment of inventions. HSL shall not subcontract with any third party or use Affiliates or agents to perform any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of LMI (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). HSL shall cause all of its employees and any
permitted subcontractor, agent or Affiliate to be bound by, and to comply with, all confidentiality, quality assurance, regulatory and other obligations and requirements as set forth in this Agreement.
2.2 Purchase and Sale. HSL shall manufacture, sell and deliver to LMI, and LMI shall purchase from HSL, the Product for jurisdictions in the Territory (with respect to each such jurisdiction, following HSLs qualification to manufacture Product in such jurisdiction) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The following provisions shall apply with respect to these Products:
(a) Forecasts; Orders. (i) LMI shall send to HSL a **** (****) month forecast (the Initial Forecast) for the volume of Product which LMI expects to have delivered from HSL during such ****-month period. LMI shall provide the Initial Forecast for Product to HSL within **** (****) days after HSL is approved as a supplier of Product under the Product NDA. LMI shall thereafter update such forecast at least **** prior to the first business day of each calendar month thereafter (a Subsequent Forecast, and together with the Initial Forecast, a Forecast), providing HSL with a rolling **** (****) month forecast for Product. Each Forecast shall include an estimated number of Batches for each month during the ****-month period covered by such Forecast. Amounts set forth in a Forecast are estimates, to be used for planning purposes only, and Forecasts shall not constitute binding purchase orders, except that the first **** (****) months of each Forecast shall be binding upon LMI and LMI shall place purchase orders corresponding to the binding portion of such Forecast. In the event LMI does not place purchase orders against the binding portion of a Forecast, HSL may (but shall not be required to) deem such binding Forecast as a purchase order for Product covered by the binding portion of the Forecast. HSL will use all commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate any changes in quantities of Product ordered by LMI.
(ii) Subject to the terms of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, Sections 5.1, 5.5 and 9.5), LMI agrees that, during each calendar year of this Agreement (with a pro-rata adjustment as applicable for any portion thereof), it shall place orders with HSL for at least **** percent (****%) of its aggregate requirements for Product in the jurisdictions in the Territory where HSL is approved as a qualified supplier of the Product. This requirement shall commence on a country-by-country basis in the Territory on the **** (****) day after HSL is qualified as a supplier of the Product under the applicable regulatory approval in such country and end on the earlier of the termination or expiration of this Agreement. In addition, this requirement is expressly conditioned upon reasonably acceptable notice of HSLs approval as a supplier of Product for a jurisdiction in the Territory. During any period in which HSLs manufacture for a jurisdiction is not in compliance with cGMPs for such jurisdiction and/or not in material compliance with the applicable laws of such jurisdiction, LMIs requirements for such jurisdiction shall not be included in the aggregate requirements of LMI for purposes of computing the amount of Product required to be ordered from HSL. In the event HSL cannot fill a purchase order issued in accordance with a Forecast, the quantities in such purchase order shall be deemed to have been ordered from HSL for purposes of LMIs requirements for placing orders pursuant to this section. For purposes of clarity, the Parties acknowledge that the aggregate requirements for Product set forth
above include both LMIs and its Affiliates requirements for such Product and that HSLs rights set forth in Section 2.2(a)(iv) of this Agreement extend to the books and records of both LMI and its Affiliates.
(iii) Without limiting HSLs remedies in the event of a breach of the preceding paragraph, in the event LMI fails to order the requirements set forth above the Parties may discuss and agree on making HSL whole (including recovery of lost profits), such as by way of example through one or more of the following mechanisms: ****.
(iv) LMI shall maintain accurate and complete books and records of its purchases for the jurisdictions in the Territory where HSL is a qualified supplier of the Product as to enable LMI and its Affiliates to verify their purchases of Product in such jurisdictions. Upon reasonable advance written notice and subject to a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to LMI, at the written request of HSL, LMI shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm or consultant selected by HSL and reasonably acceptable to LMI to have access during normal business hours to such of the records of LMI as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of LMIs orders for the immediately preceding calendar year.
(v) LMI will establish performance parameters and weightings for the Product to determine a performance score (Score) and communicate the same to HSL prior to each calendar year. For each calendar year from and after the calendar year in which HSL commences commercial manufacturing of the Product pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(ii) (each a Subject Year) if in the immediately preceding calendar year or portion thereof (each a Scoring Year) HSL achieved the highest Score with respect to the Product among LMIs qualified suppliers of such Product, then the minimum percentage requirement of Section 2.2(a)(ii) of this Agreement relating to such Product shall increase from **** percent (****%) to **** percent (****%) for the then current Subject Year, as if **** percent (****%) was set forth in Section 2.2(a)(ii). Within **** (****) days after the end of each Scoring Year, LMI shall send to HSL a written notice of HSLs Score for such Scoring Year (including the calculation of same) and a statement as to whether HSL had the highest Score. In the event HSL is determined not to have the highest Score, then, within **** (****) days after the end of such Scoring Year, upon reasonable advance written notice and subject to a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to LMI, LMI shall permit an independent industry expert selected by HSL and reasonably acceptable to LMI to confirm LMIs assessment of the highest Score for the immediately preceding Scoring Year, provided that such experts report to HSL shall be limited to an indication from such expert that LMI is in compliance or out of compliance with the methodology for such Scoring Year.
(b) Purchase Orders; Rejection of Orders. LMI will provide HSL with a firm purchase order at least **** (****) days prior to the earliest delivery date specified in such purchase order. All purchase orders will be in multiples of the minimum Batch size. All purchase orders will be sent by facsimile or electronic mail to the address specified by HSL. HSL shall use commercially reasonable efforts to accept each purchase order and confirm the date of manufacturing and shipment within **** (****) business days of receipt thereof. For purposes of clarity, the Parties acknowledge and agree that HSL shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule the date of manufacture not more than **** (****) days prior to the delivery date. Such purchase order shall be deemed accepted by HSL if HSL does not reject a purchase order within the **** business-day period. In addition, HSL will use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate any increase in quantities of Product Forecasted by LMI. LMI reserves the right to cancel or postpone any purchase order after acceptance by HSL subject to the fees payable as set forth below. Unless otherwise agreed to by a duly authorized representative of HSL in writing, however, should LMI cancel or postpone all or any portion of any purchase order (or deemed purchase order pursuant to section 2.2(a)) for commercial or pre-commercial batches within **** (****) calendar days of the acceptance date of such purchase order, LMI shall pay HSL a fee of **** for each vial in a cancelled or postponed purchase order. Should LMI cancel or postpone all or any portion of any purchase order (or deemed purchase order pursuant to section 2.2(a)) for pre-commercial or commercial batches between **** (****) and **** (****) calendar days of the acceptance date, LMI shall pay HSL a fee of **** for each vial in a cancelled or postponed purchase order. LMI shall not cancel or postpone all or any portion of any purchase order (or deemed purchase order pursuant to Section 2.2(a)) after **** (****) days after the acceptance date of such purchase order. HSL will make a good faith effort to ****.
(c) Prices. Commercial pricing for Product supplied by HSL shall be based on the amounts of Product purchased for each calendar year, as set forth in Exhibit 1.3. Because the Parties do not know the amount of Product that will be purchased in a calendar year, the estimated price will be invoiced by HSL and adjusted as provided herein. The estimated price will be based upon the most recent Forecast provided by LMI. For purposes of calculating the price per vial, LMI shall be credited with purchasing amounts ordered from HSL (in each case up to ****% of Forecasted amounts, e.g., if LMI orders 200% of the Forecasted amounts, and HSL is able to supply only 100% of the Forecasted amounts, LMI would receive credit for ****% of the Forecasted Amounts), but, in the Parties reasonable and good faith determination, could not be supplied by HSL through no fault of LMI, and the registration lots shall be deemed to be commercial quantities of Product ordered by LMI during the first calendar year of commercial production. Pricing does not include stability testing since stability testing is being conducted by LMI.
Beginning on **** and on each succeeding anniversary thereafter during the term of this Agreement, prices in the then current schedule of vial prices shall be increased by ****. Price increases shall be effective for all new purchase orders placed after the applicable anniversary. Pricing for pre-commercial and other activities is as in the Proposal, and shall be paid on the schedule set forth therein or, if none is set forth therein, then as provided in Section 2.4.
(d) Superiority of Agreement. The terms of this Agreement and of the Quality Agreements shall prevail over any inconsistent terms in any proposal, purchase order, acknowledgment or invoice, and no additional terms other than those set forth in this Agreement and the Quality Agreements or allowed pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.2 in a purchase order, acknowledgement or invoice shall be binding on either Party.
2.3 Delivery.
(a) Schedule; Quantities. HSL will ship, and LMI will take delivery, of all Product within **** (****) days of the delivery date set forth in the applicable accepted purchase order. In the event that HSL, at any time during the term of this Agreement, has reason to believe that it will be unable to perform any of the services under this Agreement or meet the requested delivery date(s) specified in the purchase orders, HSL shall promptly notify LMI in writing of such delay(s) within **** (****) business days of such determination. In the event that a Lot is delivered less than **** days after the specified delivery date, HSL shall not be liable, but if delivered **** (****) or more days after the specified delivery date which had previously been accepted by HSL, as LMIs sole remedy therefor, HSL will invoice LMI for such Lot at ****. Cost of shipping, customs, duties and tariffs will be the responsibility of LMI.
(b) Terms of Delivery. Delivery terms shall be FCA HSLs manufacturing facility (which shall be HSLs facility in Spokane, WA), at which time risk of loss and responsibility for Product will transfer to LMI. FCA has the meaning assigned it in the ICC Incoterms, 2010. HSL shall ship the Product using LMIs designated carrier in accordance with LMIs instructions regarding destination, delivery date, temperature control and such other factors as LMI reasonably believes are relevant for purposes of the delivery. HSL shall ship all Product to the locations designated by LMI.
2.4 Payment Terms. Invoices for commercial Product will reflect actual quantities of Product properly delivered in accordance with the applicable purchase order. Invoicing for commercial Product will be initiated by HSL upon HSLs review and approval of the Batch records and other certifications and documentation for such Product. All undisputed portions of invoices issued by HSL to LMI shall be paid within **** (****) days after the date of receipt of the corresponding invoice. Such payments shall be made in U.S. dollars by check or wire transfer or by such other method as HSL and LMI shall reasonably designate from time to time. In no event shall LMI be responsible for any payments related to Product for which HSL was unable to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement, whether by Force Majeure Event or otherwise. Interest shall be payable on all undisputed amounts not paid on the due date at a rate of ****% for each month the amounts remain unpaid.
2.5 **** Qualification. LMI shall have the right to qualify **** as a manufacturer of Product, and to seek and obtain regulatory approval(s) of such ****. If LMI desires to exercise its rights in this Section 2.5, LMI shall notify HSL of such decision in writing (**** Qualification Notice). Upon receipt of such **** Qualification Notice, the Parties will agree in good faith upon a reasonable schedule for commencement and completion of the **** qualification. Any ****qualification under this provision will be pursuant to a protocol established by LMI and mutually agreed to by the Parties. Such Protocol shall include the delivery of copies of relevant Product-specific documents required to carry out the ****qualification. HSL hereby agrees to use reasonable efforts to ****. LMI shall pay **** as well as **** in carrying out the requested **** qualification, provided that **** has been made available to LMI.
2.6 Inventory; Packaging Information. HSL shall, at all times commencing ****
(****) days after LMIs first Forecast, during the Term, maintain inventory levels of components and raw materials required to manufacture the volume of Products forecasted by LMI for the next **** pursuant to Section 2.2(a) of this Agreement. At HSLs option, within **** of each calendar year, LMI shall purchase from HSL, at the price paid by HSL, such unused raw materials and components in good, saleable condition purchased by HSL in reliance on Forecasts (as set forth above) that could not be returned to the original supplier by HSL or used by HSL in the supply of Product to LMI during such calendar year due to lower orders of Product than Forecast to the extent not the fault of HSL, it being understood that HSLs suppliers generally do not accept returns, unless the Parties mutually agree that such materials will be used in the following calendar year. LMI shall provide HSL with all packaging and labeling information and designs, if applicable, including without limitation, all art work and usage instructions to be applied to each Product at least **** (****) days in advance of any requirement that Product be delivered in packaged form to enable HSL to obtain the necessary packaging materials and meet such delivery requirements (provided, however, HSL shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate any changes requested by LMI with less than **** days advance notice). LMI will be fully responsible and liable for the content and format of all labeling and artwork provided by LMI and used in connection with the supply of Product hereunder. HSL shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the content and format of all labeling and artwork used in connection with the supply of the Product, as provided by LMI, are accurately and consistently produced in accordance with the Specifications. The Parties shall cooperate to ensure that all packaging and labeling information and materials are compatible with HSLs equipment and specifications.
2.7 Changes in Manufacturing Processes. HSL reserves the right to implement reasonable process changes and improvements for manufacturing the Product during the Term, at its cost, but in all instances subject to LMIs prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). HSL agrees to notify LMI promptly and in advance of any such change or improvement. If any such change or improvement requires, in LMIs reasonable judgment, regulatory approval, HSL will provide drafts of the proposed filing(s) to LMI for review and LMI will provide its approval or comments within **** (****) days from the date of receipt. In addition, HSL will make any changes to the process for manufacturing the Product requested by LMI, which changes shall be made at LMIs reasonable cost and expense (including the allocable cost of HSL personnel as evidenced by reasonable documentation made available to LMI). The Parties hereby agree to negotiate in good faith an adjustment to the ****of the Product to reflect any **** caused by the changes described in this Section 2.7. The Parties will in all events reasonably cooperate with the other Party in effecting any process changes or improvements reasonably requested by such Party.
2.8 API and Other LMI Materials. LMI will supply, at its expense, sufficient quantities of the LMI Materials to HSLs facility prior to **** (in no event less than **** (****) days prior to the ****) to enable HSL to meet its obligations hereunder. HSL will provide LMI with an inventory report for the LMI Materials on a **** basis (or as otherwise agreed to by the Parties). All such LMI Materials shall conform to the specifications agreed to by HSL and LMI. Title to the LMI Materials shall remain at all times with LMI.
3. TERM; TERMINATION
3.1 Term; Renewal. Unless terminated sooner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall have an initial term of five (5) years, unless earlier terminated as provided herein. LMI shall have the right to extend this Agreement for an additional five (5) year period upon at least six (6) months prior written notice prior to the end of the initial term. Following the initial term and any additional term, this Agreement shall be automatically renewed for additional one year periods, unless either Party gives written notice to the other of its election to terminate this Agreement at least six (6) months prior to the end of the initial term or subsequent term. The initial term and any subsequent periods shall be referred to collectively as the Term.
3.2 Termination by Mutual Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated by mutual written agreement of HSL and LMI at any time.
3.3 Termination for Cause. This Agreement may be terminated by a Party as follows:
(a) If a Party files a petition or similar action for its protection or is the subject of an involuntary petition or similar action not dismissed within ninety (90) days, under bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or receivership law, or such Party is placed in receivership, makes an assignment for benefit of creditors or is unable to meet its debts in the regular course of business, the other Party may elect to terminate this Agreement immediately by written notice to the first Party without prejudice to any right or remedy the other Party may have under the Agreement, including damages for breach, if any.
(b) In the event that a Party materially defaults under or materially breaches any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Quality Agreements, the other Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days prior written notice, unless such material default or breach is cured during such sixty (60) day period (or in the event any breach is incapable of being cured in such time period, the other Party presents a plan to attempt cure of such breach and prevent similar breaches, which plan is reasonably acceptable to the terminating Party), in which event this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
(c) If LMI is the Party with the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Sections 3.3(b) due to the uncured material breach of HSL, LMI shall have the option to delay the termination and continue to have HSL supply LMI under this Agreement upon written notice to HSL detailing the same, until such time as (i) **** or (ii) the Parties mutually agree upon a terminal supply of Product under Section 3.4(d) of this Agreement so as to avoid any disruption of LMIs supply or sale of Products. For purposes of this Agreement, terminal supply means the amount of Product reasonably requested by LMI so as to avoid any disruption to LMIs supply or sale of Product. During any such period LMI must pay all invoices upon delivery.
(d) If HSL is not a qualified supplier of Product in the United States under LMIs NDA for the Product before the end of the **** (****) **** of this Agreement, senior management of the Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any outstanding issues and to negotiate any necessary adjustments to the terms of this Agreement. For purposes of clarity, LMI acknowledges that it shall not have the right to extend this
Agreement for an additional five year period as described in Section 3.1 of this Agreement in the event that HSL is unable to be qualified as a supplier of Product in the United States before the end of the initial five-year term.

(b) For purposes of this Article 6, information and data described in clause (a) shall be referred to as Information. For purposes of clarity, HSL acknowledges and agrees that LMIs Information includes, without limitation, the **** developed by HSL specifically for LMI (provided such Information shall not include information developed independently by HSL without reference to LMIs Pre-existing Intellectual Property and
Technology or LMI Information). LMI shall not use the format of HSLs underlying forms provided to it other than for the Product, and the same shall be HSLs Information. To the extent it is reasonably necessary or appropriate to fulfill its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement, a Party may disclose Information it is otherwise obligated under this Section not to disclose, to its Affiliates, employees, officers, directors, lenders, sublicensees, consultants, outside contractors and clinical investigators on a need-to-know basis and on condition that such entities or persons agree in writing to only use such Information for purposes specifically authorized under this Agreement and to keep the Information confidential for the same time periods and to the same extent as such Party is required to keep the Information confidential; notwithstanding the foregoing the Party so disclosing Information will be liable to the other Party hereunder for any misuse or improper disclosure of any such Information by any such firms or individuals. A Party or its sublicensees may disclose such Information to government or other regulatory authorities to the extent that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to obtain patents or authorizations to conduct clinical trials of, and to commercially market, the Product.

The Party asserting the applicability of one of the exclusions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall have the burden of proving the applicability of any such exclusion in any particular circumstance. If a receiving Party is required to disclose Information of the other Party pursuant to interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand of a court or governmental agency, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to do so on a confidential basis (and provided that the disclosing Party furnishes only that portion of the Information which is legally required), and, in any event, it shall provide the other Party prompt notice after receipt of any such official requests to enable the other Party to seek a protective order or similar relief.
(c) HSL understands and acknowledges that LMIs Information, Intellectual Property, and Technology related to the Product has been developed or obtained by the investment of significant time, effort and expense by LMI, and that such Information, Intellectual Property, and Technology is a valuable, special and unique asset of LMI which provides LMI with a significant commercial advantage, and needs to be protected from improper use and disclosure (including, but not limited to, any improper use by HSL and its Affiliates).

recognizes that the **** and, as a result, HSL (excluding ****) agrees **** for ****; provided, however, that if LMI fails to order in the **** (****) month period covered by the Initial Forecast, or in any **** (****) month period beginning on the annual anniversary of the first day covered by the Initial Forecast thereafter during the first **** (****) years of the Term, at least **** percent (****%) of the Product set forth in the Initial Forecast, the Parties will agree in good faith on an appropriate remedy for the shortfall in such forecasted volume. Such remedies may include, by way of example, ****. If the Parties are unable to agree on a remedy that is reasonably acceptable to both Parties within a period of **** (****) days, then, subject to the terms of this Agreement (including, but not limited to the other confidentiality and non-use obligations set forth herein), the restrictions set forth in third sentence of this Section 6.2(c) with respect to **** shall no longer apply. For purposes of clarity, an **** shall include ****. HSL agrees that there may be no adequate remedy at law for any such breach and, upon any such breach or any threat thereof, LMI shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief in courts located in New York, including injunctive relief, in addition to whatever other remedies it might be entitled. In addition, in order to protect against the disclosure of LMIs Information, upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, or as otherwise requested by LMI, HSL will promptly deliver to LMI or, at the request of LMI, destroy all copies of LMIs Information in its possession; provided, in each case, that HSL may retain, in a secure location, a copy of such documents and records for purposes of defending any legal proceedings or as is required to be maintained in order to satisfy any law, rule, or regulation to which HSL is subject.
6.3 Terms of this Agreement.
(a) LMI and HSL each agree not to disclose, whether by press release or in any other manner, the existence of this Agreement or any terms or conditions of this Agreement, to any third party without the prior written consent of the other Party or except as required by applicable law; it being understood that either Party will be able to file this Agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and other government agencies to the extent it reasonably determines such filing is required under applicable rules and regulations, but such Party shall use reasonable efforts to seek confidential treatment of pricing and other commercially sensitive information. In addition, each Party may disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement to a lender or third party to which it is considering transferring all or substantially all of its interests in the assets to which this Agreement relates; provided, however, that such third party executes a confidentiality agreement by which such third party is bound to hold the disclosed information in confidence.
(b) The Parties shall agree in good faith upon the substance of Information that can be used as a routine reference in the usual course of business to describe the terms of this transaction and each of them may disclose such Information, as modified by mutual agreement from time to time, without the other Partys consent.
6.4 Injunctive Relief. The Parties hereto understand and agree that remedies at law may be inadequate to protect against any breach of any of the provisions of this Article 6 by a Party or its employees, agents, officers or directors or any other person acting in concert with it
or on its behalf. Accordingly, each Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief or any other equitable relief appropriate under the circumstances by a court of competent jurisdiction against or with respect to any action that constitutes any such breach of this Article 6.
7. INDEMNIFICATION; INSURANCE.
7.1 By HSL. To the extent LMI is not responsible to indemnify HSL and/or others under Section 7.2, HSL will indemnify and hold LMI, its Affiliates, and its and their directors, officers, agents and employees harmless against any and all liability, damages, losses, costs or expenses, including without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursement of attorneys (collectively, Liability) resulting from any third party claims made or suits brought against them to the extent such Liability arises from (i) HSLs services in developing the Product not in material compliance with this Agreement, (ii) HSLs manufacturing, supplying, processing or otherwise manufacturing the Product not in compliance with the Specifications and the representations contained in Section 5.1, (iii) HSLs negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct in the manufacture, storage, packaging, labeling, handling or shipping of the Product or (iv) HSLs breach of any representation, warranty or covenant, or failure to perform any of its obligations, hereunder.
7.2 By LMI. To the extent HSL is not responsible to indemnify LMI and/or others under Section 7.1, LMI will indemnify and hold HSL, its Affiliates, and its and their directors, officers, agents and employees harmless against any and all Liability resulting from any third party claims made or suits brought against them to the extent such Liability arises from (i) any packaging or labeling of any Product to the extent that such packaging or labeling has been supplied by or at the direction of LMI and applied in accordance with instructions from LMI, (ii) LMIs negligence or willful misconduct in the storage, handling, shipping, use, marketing, distribution or sale of the Product; (iii) LMIs breach of any representation, warranty or covenant, or failure to perform any of its obligations, hereunder; (iv) any product distributed by LMI which is similar to or identical to Product (other than Product which is manufactured by HSL); (iv) personal injuries or death resulting from the use of the Product properly manufactured and delivered by HSL; or (v) any product shipped by LMI with the Product or included with the Product.
7.3 Conditions of Indemnification. A Party or any of its Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents (the Indemnitee) that intends to claim indemnification under this Article 7 shall promptly notify the other Party (the Indemnitor) of any Liability in respect of which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification reasonably promptly after the Indemnitee is aware thereof, and the Indemnitor shall have the right to assume the defense of any related third party action, suit or proceeding with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Parties; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel and participate in the defense thereof at its own cost and expense. The indemnity agreement in this Article 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim, loss, damage or expense if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be withheld or delayed unreasonably. The failure of an Indemnitee to deliver notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after becoming aware of any such matter, if prejudicial to the Indemnitors ability to defend such action, shall relieve the Indemnitor of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Article 7 to the extent of such prejudice. The Indemnitee under this
Article 7 and its directors, officers, employees and agents shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any matter covered by this indemnification.
7.4 Insurance. LMI and HSL will each, at its own cost and expense, obtain and maintain in full force and effect, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of one year following the expiration or other termination of this Agreement, commercial general liability insurance (including Products Completed Operations) with an insurance carrier reasonably acceptable to the other Party, with limits of liability, including excess coverage, of not less than $10,000,000 combined single limit bodily injury and property damage covering its duties and obligations under the Agreement.

If the Dispute has not been resolved within thirty (30) days after the end of the thirty (30) day negotiation period referred to above (which period may be extended by mutual agreement), subject to any rights to injunctive relief and unless otherwise specifically provided for herein, any Dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration as described in subsection (b) below, if the Parties so choose.

All rebates earned shall be issued to such Member by Medical Imaging as a credit against future purchases of TechneLite® Generators by such Member within **** (****) days of the end of each Quarter. Medical Imaging will not settle any such rebate in cash, except if a Member ceases to be a Member in Good Standing or is otherwise acquired and the successor ceases to be a Member and there are no outstanding invoices payable by such Member to Medical Imaging.

A. The terms of the existing Exhibit I of the Standard Cardiolite® Terms are being modified as set forth herein.

In accordance with Section 5.04 of the Standard Cardiolite® Terms, each Member shall report all AEs, Product Quality Complaints and Special Situations to Medical Imaging within 24 hours of the date that Member first becomes aware of an AE, Product Quality Complaint or Special Situation associated with a Sestamibi Product, TechneLite® Generator or any other product of Medical Imaging that is reported to Member or of which Member or any of its agents, including local radiopharmacists, are otherwise made aware.

AE means any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject, which results in any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered, related to the medicinal product. All noxious and unintended responses to a medicinal product related to any dose should be considered adverse drug reactions. Responses to a medicinal product means that a causal relationship between the product and AE is at least a reasonable possibility (i.e., the relationship cannot be ruled out or cannot be determined). The failure of a Sestamibi Product to localize as expected shall not be deemed an adverse experience, whereas a significant failure of expected pharmacologic action would be considered an adverse event.
Product Quality Complaint means an oral or written report, originating from an external or internal source, stating that a product marketed by Medical Imaging is not meeting the customers expectations in relation to identity, quality, effectiveness or performance of the product.
Serious AE means any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death; is life-threatening (defined as an event in which the subject or patient was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an event which hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe); requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalizations; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect; is an important medical event (defined as a medical event(s) that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization, but based upon appropriate medical and scientific judgment, may jeopardize the patient/subject or may require intervention, e.g., medical surgical, to prevent one of the other serious outcomes listed in the definition above). Examples of such events include, but are not limited to, intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm; blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in hospitalization. For reporting purposes, Medical Imaging also considers the occurrences of cancer, pregnancy, or overdose (accidental or intentional and regardless of adverse outcome) as events that must be expeditiously reported as important medical events.
Special Situation means any outcomes of pregnancies of patients exposed to product, AE during breastfeeding, data on use of product in children, lack of efficacy (effect), transmission of an infectious disease with product, overdose, misuse, or abuse, medication errors or AE in compassionate use/named patient use. For reporting purposes, Medical Imaging considers Special Situations to be AEs that must be reported within 24 hours.
