SECTION 2

SUPPLY AGREEMENT

SECTION 2.1. Supply of the Active Ingredient.

(a) During the term of this Agreement, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, ASL shall supply and sell to Reliant and Reliant shall purchase from ASL all of Reliant’s requirements for the Active Ingredient pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Reliant’s obligation to purchase all of its requirements of API from ASL is contingent upon ASL’s ability to manufacture all Reliant’s requirements, receipt by Reliant of Regulatory Approval and is further subject to Reliant’s obligations to purchase minimum quantities of Active Ingredient from Novartis pursuant to that certain Supply Agreement by and between Reliant and Novartis dated January 10, 2003.

(b) During the term of this Agreement and provided that Reliant complies with its purchase obligations set forth herein, ASL shall not supply or sell the Active Ingredient to any other purchaser in the Territory or outside the Territory for sale of any product containing the Active Ingredient inside the Territory without the prior written consent of Reliant (provided, however, that nothing herein shall affect ASL’s ability to manufacture products which are not the Active Ingredient).

(c) ASL shall supply Reliant with Active Ingredient meeting the Specifications. All Active Ingredient supplied by ASL to Reliant hereunder shall be consistent with the DMF and NDA and produced in a facility and in a manner compliant with GMP and all other applicable laws, and shall not be adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of the Act and will have expiration dating of at least twenty four (24) months from the date of manufacture. Each shipment of Active Ingredient from ASL to Reliant shall be sampled and analyzed by ASL to determine if the shipment of Active Ingredient meets the Specifications. ASL shall deliver with each shipment of the Active Ingredient a certificate of analysis stating that the Active Ingredient meets the Specifications. ASL shall not relocate or otherwise transfer the site of manufacture of API without the express prior written approval of Reliant in the absence of a force majeure event or unremedied audit deficiencies under Section 2.3 below. Upon delivery to the Designated Facility, title to the Active Ingredient so delivered will be free and clear of any security interest or other encumbrance created by ASL.

SECTION 2.2. Specifications.

(a) The specifications (“Specifications”) for the Active Ingredient are set forth on Exhibit A.

(b) All Active Ingredient supplied to Reliant hereunder shall be supplied in bulk form in drums and on pallets or as otherwise agreed by the parties. The packaging requirements shall be specified in the Specifications.

SECTION 2.3. Audit of Manufacturing Facility.

(a) Reliant or its representatives shall have the right, upon not less than five (5) business days advance notice and during regular business hours, to inspect and audit any facilities being used by ASL and any of its Affiliates, subsidiaries, joint ventures or other entities for the manufacture, production or supply or storage of the Active Ingredient (“Supply Facilities”) including all documentation related thereto to assure compliance by ASL or its suppliers with the terms of this Agreement, applicable US laws, rules and regulations including GMP and the prevailing FDA quality system requirements. Such inspection and audit shall be limited to those portions of such Supply Facilities as are involved in the production of the Active Ingredient, and shall be, conducted in a manner so as to minimize disruption of ASL’s and the inspected facilities’ business operations. ASL shall ensure Reliant has access to all such Supply Facilities (including, but not limited to, any third party facilities) in accordance with the foregoing in order for Reliant to conduct such audits; provided, however, that Reliant shall be subject to such reasonable confidentiality obligations as may be required by such third party in order to protect any proprietary information.

(b) If any of such audits reveal that the Supply Facilities do not satisfy the requirements of this Agreement or the Act, then Reliant shall provide written notice of such fact, which notice shall contain in reasonable detail (including reference to the applicable standard or criteria which has not been met) the deficiencies found in the Supply Facilities and, if practicable, those steps which should be undertaken in order to remedy such deficiencies. ASL shall within thirty (30) days remedy any deficiencies from any such audit which have been provided to ASL in writing. In the event that ASL does not remedy, or is incapable of remedying, any of such deficiencies within such thirty (30) day period, ASL shall have the option to locate and qualify alternate GMP qualified Supply Facilities from which to perform its supply obligations under this Agreement. Should ALSA not locate and qualify such alternate GMP qualified Supply Facilities within 90 days of receiving Reliant’s notice, then Reliant shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to ASL, in which event ASL shall provide Reliant at ASL’s cost such assistance and any other information (including the Process Descriptions) as shall be necessary in order for Reliant to manufacture or have manufactured the Active Ingredient at another facility.

(c) ASL acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 2.3 granting Reliant certain audit rights shall in no way relieve ASL of any of its obligations under this Agreement, nor shall such provisions require Reliant to conduct any such audits.

SECTION 2.4. Notice of Audit.

(a) Notice. ASL shall give Reliant immediate notice of any impending FDA or other governmental audit of ASL as it relates to the manufacture, production or testing storage of

Active Ingredient supplied to Reliant pursuant to this Agreement and shall provide Reliant with any documentation provided to it relating to such audit. ASL shall provide Reliant the opportunity for a 15-day, or a mutually-agreed timeline for review, prior to submission, any documentation prepared in response to such governmental audit and shall promptly provide Reliant with the results of such audit following its conclusion.

(b) Inspection Reports. ASL shall promptly provide to Reliant copies of any FDA or other US governmental inspection reports it receives from the FDA or other US governmental agency with jurisdiction over the manufacturing facility with respect to the manufacturing facilities which supply the Active Ingredient.

ASL shall maintain sole responsibility for any matter pertaining to such inspections.

SECTION 2.6. Recordkeeping.

ASL shall keep and maintain all production, batch, control laboratory and other records in accordance with all applicable FDA laws, roles and regulations including but not limited to GMP. Such records shall be made available to Reliant or its representatives upon request.

SECTION 2.7. Orders, Prices and Terms.

(a) Purchase Price. The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the Active Ingredient purchased from ASL for a period of three (3) years from the date of Regulatory Approval for either of the Initial Products (the “Initial Pricing Period”) shall be as set forth on Exhibit B hereto. In the event that Reliant fails to order at least [***] kgs of Active Ingredient (the “Minimum”) in any year of the Initial Pricing Period (excluding the “First Agreement Year”), and fails to cure such failure in the Quarterly Forecast for the succeeding Agreement Year, ASL shall have the right to renegotiate the Purchase Price. Price increases will be limited to ASL’s direct incremental price increase for raw materials directly attributable to the lower than expected volume purchases of raw materials by ASL as demonstrated from ASL’s records. The Purchase Price for each purchase order shall be determined by the relevant Tier on Exhibit B according to the aggregate number of kilograms of API purchased to date within the relevant Agreement Year. The Purchase Price set forth on Exhibit B may be renegotiated at any time and from time to time after expiration of the Initial Period. Any change in the Purchase Price of

Active Ingredient following expiration of the Initial Pricing Period provided, however, that the Purchase Price for Active Ingredient shall not be increased greater than the annual increase in any Agreement Year during the Term by greater than the annual increase in the Producer Price Industry Data figure for pharmaceutical preparations [***] as published by the US Department of Labor.

(b) Effect of Specification Changes on Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Reliant requests a change to the Specifications, ASL shall notify Reliant within 30 days of ASL’s receipt of such request whether the requested change will result in a material increase or decrease in the direct cost of manufacture of the Active Ingredient and ASL’s estimate of the cost of implementing the change. If Reliant then confirms to ASL that it wants to have the change implemented, then Reliant shall reimburse ASL for the estimated costs of implementing the change and pay such increased or decreased price, as the case may be, for API in an amount that enables ASL to pass through its consequent direct cost increases or decreases

(c) Quarterly Reconciliation. Within thirty-(30) days of the last day of each calendar quarter, a quarterly reconciliation shall be calculated by multiplying the total number of kgs purchased by Reliant in such quarter by the cost/kg in the relevant Tier in Exhibit B, and subtracting such amounts invoiced Reliant during such quarter (the difference is the “the Quarterly Payment”). If the Quarterly Payment Amount is less than zero ($0.00), ASL shall credit Reliant that entire amount by way of a volume rebate in Kgs in the next invoice to Reliant for purchases.

(d) Annual Reconciliation: During each Agreement Year, ASL shall invoice Reliant for purchases as set forth in Exhibit B. Within 30-days of the last day of each Agreement Year, an annual reconciliation will be calculated by multiplying the total number of kilograms of API purchased for the relevant agreement year by the relevant price in appropriate Tier in Exhibit B, and subtracting the total invoiced amount in dollars for such Agreement Year (the difference is the “Annual Payment Amount”). If the Annual Payment Amount is less than zero ($0.00), ASL shall credit Reliant that entire amount by way of a volume rebate in Kgs (the “Volume Rebate”) in the next invoice to Reliant for purchases.

(e) Invoices and Payments. ASL will invoice Reliant within thirty-(30) days after delivery and acceptance of each shipment of Active Ingredient to Reliant or Designated Facility. Reliant shall pay ASL for API accepted within thirty-(30) days of receipt of the relevant invoice. All payments shall be made in U.S. dollars without deduction of any kind such as for withholding taxes or claims of set-off other than in the case of a bona fide dispute with respect to this Agreement. If Reliant has not paid the invoice within such thirty (30) day period (other than amounts related to amounts subject to bona fide dispute), Reliant shall pay interest on any unpaid and undisputed amounts at the rate of 1 ½% per month or the maximum rate allowed by law whatever is lower until paid in full, and, if the dispute is resolved in ASL’s favor, Reliant shall pay interest at such rate on the disputed amount until paid in full.

Title and risk of loss pass on delivery to the Designated Facility.

(e) All shipments of Active Ingredient shall be accompanied by a packing slip and a certificate of analysis which describes the Active Ingredient, states the purchase order number, confirms that the Active Ingredient conforms in all ways with the Specifications, the Process Description and was manufactured in accordance with GMP and all other requirements of the Act. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any purchase order, purchase order release, confirmation, acceptance or any similar document, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

(f) Reliant shall notify ASL of any short-shipment claims within thirty (30) days of receipt of a shipment of Active Ingredient.

(g) ASL shall not be obligated to accept any returns of Active Ingredient other than as a result of such Active Ingredient failing to meet the Specifications in accordance with Section 2.9(a), was not manufactured in accordance with GMP, or does not otherwise comply with the manufacturing, storage and/or transportation requirements of the Act.

SECTION 2.9. Product Claims.

(a) After delivery of a shipment of any Active Ingredient to Reliant, Reliant shall have sixty (60) days to examine the Active Ingredient to determine if it conforms to the Specifications and, on the basis of such examination, to accept or reject such shipment.

SECTION 4.8. Severability.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 4.9. Remedies; Etc. Unless otherwise expressly provided, all remedies hereunder are cumulative, are in addition to any other remedies provided for by law and may, to the extent permitted by law, be exercised concurrently or separately, and the exercise of any one remedy shall not be deemed to be an election of such remedy or to preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

The party which is not performing its obligations under this Agreement as a result of an event of force majeure shall use diligent efforts to resume compliance with this Agreement as soon as possible. Should the event of force majeure continue unabated for a period of sixty (60) days or more, the parties shall enter into good faith discussions with a view to alleviating its affects or to agreeing upon such alternative arrangements as may be fair and reasonable having regard to the circumstances prevailing at that time.

SECTION 4.12. Waivers. The failure of either party to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition by the other party.

SECTION 4.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and execution by each of the parties of any one of such counterparts will constitute due execution of this Agreement. Each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement.

SECTION 4.14. Headings. The article and section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

SECTION 4.15. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.

(a) This Agreement shall be construed, governed, interpreted and applied in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A. without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof, and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly disclaimed.

(b) Excepting only actions and claims relating to actions commenced by a third party against ASL or Reliant (including, without limitation, actions for injuries caused by a Product, or in respect to a patent infringement claim), any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the parties’ decision to enter into this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the arbitration American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

(c) The arbitration shall be held before a single arbitrator, to be selected by ASL and Reliant or, if ASL and Reliant cannot agree on such arbitrator, in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules provided that the arbitrator shall have significant pharmaceutical manufacturing and supply experience. Arbitration shall be in the State of New York and the arbitrator shall apply the substantive law of the State of New York. It shall be the duty of the arbitrator to set dates for preparation and hearing of any dispute and to expedite the resolution of such dispute. The arbitrator shall permit and facilitate discovery, taking into account the needs of the parties and the desirability of making discovery expeditious and cost-effective. The arbitrator will set a discovery schedule with which the parties will comply and attend depositions if requested by either party. The arbitrator will entertain such presentation of sworn testimony or evidence, written briefs and/or oral argument as the parties may wish to present; however, no testimony or exhibits will be admissible unless the adverse party was afforded an opportunity to examine such witness and to inspect and copy such exhibits during the pre-hearing discovery phase. The arbitrator shall among his other powers and authorities, have the power and authority to award interim or preliminary relief.

(d) The arbitrator shall not award either parties punitive damages and the parties shall be deemed to have waived any right to such damages. A qualified court reporter will record and transcribe the proceedings. The decision of the arbitrator will be in writing and judgment upon the award by the arbitrator may be entered into any court having jurisdiction thereof. Prompt handling and disposal of the issue is important. Accordingly, the arbitrator is instructed to assume adequate managerial initiative and control over discovery and other aspects of the proceeding to schedule discovery and other activities for substantially continuous work, thereby expediting the arbitration as much as is deemed reasonable to him, but in all events to effect a final award within three hundred sixty five (365) days of the arbitrator’s selection or appointment and within twenty (20) days of the close of evidence.

(e) The proceedings shall be confidential and the arbitrator shall issue appropriate protective orders to safeguard both parties’ confidential information. The fees of the arbitrator shall be paid by the losing party, which shall be designated by the arbitrator. If the arbitrator is unable to designate a losing party, he shall so state and the fees shall be split equally between the parties.

(f) Each party is required to continue to perform its obligations under this Agreement pending final resolution of any such dispute.

(g) The procedures specified in this Section 4.15 shall be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of disputes between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided however, that a party, without prejudice to the above procedures, may seek injunctive relief or other provisional judicial relief, if in its sole judgment, such action is necessary to avoid irreparable damage.

SECTION 4.16. Consequential Damages. Neither Reliant nor ASL (which for the purposes of this Section 4.16 shall include their respective Affiliates, directors, managers, officers, employees, consultants, equity holders, representatives and agents) shall have any liability to the other for any punitive damages, specialty, incidental, consequential or indirect damage relating to or arising from the loss of commercial or business opportunity, revenue or profit, in connection with or arising out of this Agreement even if such damages may have been forecasted; providing that such limitations shall not apply in the case of (a) fraud, (b) intentional misconduct or (c) any damages claimed by or paid to a third party in a third party action.

SECTION 4.17. Limitation of Liability. Except in the cases of fraud, gross negligence or intentional misconduct ASL’s aggregate liability to Reliant under this Agreement for any calendar year during the term of this Agreement shall not exceed the net amounts paid by Reliant (amounts paid less the Annual Payment Amount rebated) under Section 2.7 above with respect to that calendar year.

SECTION 4.18 Conversion to Non-Exclusive. Following the Initial Period, in the event that Reliant fails to purchase the Minimum in any two (2) consecutive calendar quarters pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof, ASL as its sole remedy hereunder shall on thirty (30) days written notice shall be relieved of the restriction on sales to third parties of Active Ingredient set forth in Section 2.1(b) hereof. Reliant, however, shall have the option during the thirty days following notice from ASL to purchase such amounts of API as necessary to satisfy the Minimum for the calendar quarters in question in which case the restriction on sales of Active Ingredient to third parties set forth in Section 2.1(b) shall remain in full force and effect.
