ARTICLE 4

CONVERSION FEES AND COMPONENT COSTS

4.1

First Year Pricing.

The fees for the Manufacturing Services (which fees include Conversion costs and Component costs) listed in Schedule B (the “Manufacturing Fees”) are intended by the parties to be fixed for the first Contract Year of this Agreement, subject to the amendments to such fees provided for in this Article 4. Manufacturing Fees may be referred to herein as the “Fee” or “Fees”.

4.2

Subsequent Years’ Pricing.

For each Contract Year commencing January 1, 2006 the Fees during the Contract Year shall be determined in accordance with the following:

(a)

Manufacturing Costs. Patheon shall be allowed to adjust the Fees: (i) for costs associated with the conversion of Granulations and Components into Drug Product (the “Conversion Costs”) in respect of the Drug Product based on the most recently available final Producers’ Price Index for Pharmaceutical Product as published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics or any governmental successor thereto (“PPI”) using the procedure set forth in Section 4.3 and (ii) for Component Costs to pass on the actual amount of any increase or decrease in such costs without mark-up. For each Contract Year in which Patheon is entitled to adjust the Fees Patheon shall provide Client with written notice of any change in the Fees within 30 days of receipt by Patheon of the Annual Forecast. The Parties agree that the Fees shall not be adjusted more than once per Contract Year, however this limitation shall not include price adjustments under section 4.3 or 4.4. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Manufacturing Fees associated with Conversion Costs shall not be increased by greater than [***]% per annum in any Contract Year during the Term. There shall be no similar limitation in terms of increases in Component Costs which shall be passed on to Client in an amount equal to the actual increase paid by Patheon without markup.

(b)

Annual Forecast. By July 1st of each Contract Year of this Agreement, the Client shall provide Patheon a yearly volume projection for Drug Product. To the extent that Patheon reasonably determines that the projections contained in that yearly volume forecast necessitate that an adjustment be made to the Fees for such Contract Year, Patheon shall, within 30 days of receipt by Patheon of the yearly forecast, be entitled to request an appropriate price adjustment.

[***]:

Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

(c)

Pricing Basis. The Client acknowledges that the Fees in any Contract Year are quoted based upon the Minimum Run Quantity and estimated annual volume for the Drug Product specified in Schedule B or thereafter specified in the forecast provided pursuant to Section 4.2(b) for the Contract Year and is subject to change if the specified Minimum Run Quantity and estimated annual volume is not met. For greater certainty, if Patheon and the Client agree that the Minimum Run Quantity of the Drug Product shall be reduced whether as a result of a decrease in estimated annual volume or otherwise and, as a result of such reduction, Patheon’s Fees materially increase on a per unit basis, then subject to the limitation set forth in 4.2(a) above Patheon shall be entitled to an increase in the Fees by an amount sufficient to absorb such increase.

In connection with a Fee adjustment pursuant to Section 4.2(a), Patheon shall deliver to the Client a revised Schedule B and a statement outlining the percentage increase in the PPI upon which such Fee adjustment is based. In connection with all Fee adjustment requests pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) and 4.2(c), Patheon shall deliver to the Client a revised Schedule B and such budgetary pricing information or other documentation reasonably sufficient to demonstrate that a Fee adjustment is justified, provided that Patheon shall have no obligation to provide any supporting documents to the extent such documents are subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers.

From the date Patheon submits a written request for a price adjustment as per the terms described above, Patheon shall continue to perform the Manufacturing Services while the parties engage in negotiation of revised Fees. Once a price adjustment has been agreed upon such adjustment shall apply retroactively to the later of the first day of the relevant Contract Year or the date in which the written request is received by Client unless the Parties otherwise agree.

4.3

Adjustments to Pricing.

During any Contract Year of this Agreement, the Fees set out in Schedule B or Schedule C shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the following:

(a)

Volume Reduction. If at any time and from time to time Patheon determines, acting reasonably and based on the forecasts and Firm Orders received from the Client, that the current yearly volumes (including, without limitation, any permanent reductions in volumes) relating to the Drug Product will constitute no more than [***]% of the minimum annual volume for the Drug Product specified in Schedule B hereto or, if applicable, any revised minimum annual volume hereinafter agreed to by the parties, then Patheon shall be entitled to request an adjustment to the Fees to reflect the demonstrated material increased costs that Patheon will incur as a result of the reduced volumes.

(b)

Extraordinary Increases in Component Costs. If at any time market conditions result in Patheon’s cost of Components being materially greater than normal forecasted increases, then Patheon shall be entitled to request an adjustment to the Fees to compensate it for such demonstrated material increased in Component costs. For the purposes of this Section 4.3(b), changes materially greater than

[***]:

Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

normal forecasted increases shall be considered to have occurred if: (i) the cost of a Component increases by [***]% of the cost for that Component upon which the fee quote was based; or (ii) the aggregate cost for all Components required to manufacture the Drug Product increases by [***]% of the total Component costs for such Drug Product upon which the fee quote was based. To the extent that Component costs have been previously adjusted pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or this Section 4.3(b) to reflect an increase in the cost of one or more Components, the adjustments provided for in (i) and (ii) above shall operate based on the costs attributed to such Component (or Components) at the time the last of such adjustments were made. In the event Component costs decrease so that they are less than the amount forecasted, such cost reductions shall be passed through to Client.

In connection with a Fee adjustment request pursuant to this Section 4.3, Patheon shall deliver to the Client a revised Schedule B or Schedule C and such budgetary pricing information, adjusted Component costs or other documentation reasonably sufficient to demonstrate that a Fee adjustment is justified, provided that Patheon shall have no obligation to provide any supporting documents to the extent such documents are subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers. Upon delivery of such a request, each of the Client and Patheon shall forthwith use all reasonable efforts to agree on a revised Fee.

From the date Patheon submits a written request for a price adjustment as per the terms described above, Patheon shall continue to perform the Manufacturing Services while the parties engage in negotiation of revised Fees. Once a price adjustment has been agreed upon such adjustment shall apply retroactively to the later of the first day of relevant Contract Year unless the Parties otherwise agree or the date in which the written request is received by Client.

4.4

Adjustments Due to Technical Changes.

Amendments to the Specifications or the Quality Agreement requested by the Client will only be implemented following a technical and cost review by Patheon and are subject to the Client and Patheon reaching agreement as to revisions, if any, to the Fees specified in Schedules B or C necessitated by any such amendment. If the Client accepts a proposed fee change, the proposed change in the Specifications shall be implemented, and the fee change shall become effective only with respect to those orders of Drug Product that are manufactured in accordance with the revised Specifications. In addition, the Client agrees to purchase, at Patheon’s cost therefor (including all costs incurred by Patheon in connection with the purchase and handling of such Inventory), all Inventory utilized under the “old” Specifications and purchased or maintained by Patheon in order to fill Firm Orders or in accordance with Section 5.3, to the extent that such Inventory can no longer be utilized under the revised Specifications. Open purchase orders for Components no longer required under any revised Specifications that were placed by Patheon with suppliers in order to fill Firm Orders or in accordance with Section 5.3 shall be cancelled where possible, and where such orders are not subject to cancellation without penalty, shall be assigned to and satisfied by the Client.

ARTICLE 5

ORDERS, DELIVERY, INVOICING, PAYMENT

5.1

Market Outlook.

The Client acknowledges that for optimal production planning, Patheon requires an understanding of the Client’s strategic vision for the Drug Product in the market and agrees, to the extent that such information (including, if any, the Client’s five-year market outlook studies) exists, to share such information with Patheon, provided that such information may not be relied upon by Patheon for any purpose and further provided that any information so provided shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions of Article 11.

5.2

Orders and Forecasts.

(a) Rolling Forecasts. No later than ten (10) days of the Commencement Date, the Client shall provide Patheon with a written non-binding 18 month forecast of the volume of the Drug Product that the Client then anticipates will be required to be produced and delivered to the Client during each month of that 18 month period. Such forecast will be updated by the Client monthly on a rolling 18 month basis and updated forthwith upon the Client determining that the volumes contemplated in the most recent of such forecasts has changed by more than 20%. The most recent 18 month forecast shall prevail.

(b) Firm Orders. No later than ten (10) days of the Commencement Date and on or before the 20th day of each calendar month thereafter, the Client shall issue firm written orders (“Firm Orders”) for the Drug Product to be produced and delivered to the Client on a date not less than 90 days from the first day of the calendar month immediately following the date that the Firm Order is submitted. Such Firm Orders submitted to Patheon shall specify the Client’s purchase order number, quantities of Drug Product, monthly delivery schedule and any other elements necessary to ensure the timely production and delivery of the Drug Product. The quantities of Drug Product ordered in such written orders shall be firm and binding on the Client and shall not be subject to reduction by the Client.

(c) Three Year Forecast. No later than fifteen (15) days of the Commencement Date, and on or before May 1st in each Contract Year thereafter, the Client shall provide Patheon with a written non-binding three-year forecast (broken down by quarters for the second and third years of the forecast) of the volume of the Drug Product the Client then anticipates will be required to be produced and delivered to the Client during the three-year period.

5.3

Reliance by Patheon.

The Client understands and acknowledges that Patheon will rely on the Firm Orders and rolling forecasts submitted pursuant to Sections 5.2(a) and (b) in ordering the Components required to meet such Firm Orders. In addition, the Client understands that to ensure an orderly supply of such Components and to achieve economies of scale in the costs, it may be desirable for Patheon to purchase such Components in sufficient volumes to meet the production requirements for Drug Product during part or all of the forecasted periods referred to

in Section 5.2(a) or to meet the production requirements of any longer period agreed to by Patheon and the Client. Accordingly, the Client authorizes Patheon to purchase Components in order to satisfy the production requirements for Drug Product for the first six months contemplated in the most recent forecast provided by the Client pursuant to Section 5.2(a), and agrees that Patheon may make such other purchases of Components to meet production requirements during such longer periods as may be agreed to in writing from time to time by the Client at the request of Patheon. If Components ordered by Patheon pursuant to Firm Orders or this Section 5.3 are not included in finished Drug Product purchased by the Client within six months after the forecasted month in respect of which such purchases have been made (or such longer period as the parties may agree), the Client shall pay to Patheon its costs therefor (including all costs incurred by Patheon in connection with the purchase and handling of such Components) and, in the event such Components are incorporated into Drug Product subsequently purchased by the Client or into third party products manufactured by Patheon and subsequently purchased by a third party, the Client will receive credit for any costs of such Components previously paid to Patheon by the Client.

5.4

Minimum Orders.

The Client may only order Drug Product in multiples of the Minimum Run Quantities set out in Schedule B.

5.5

Shipments.

Shipments of Client’s Drug Product shall be made FCA (as defined in INCOTERMS 2000) Patheon’s shipping point unless otherwise mutually agreed. Such title as Patheon has in Drug Product and risk of loss or of damage to Drug Product shall remain with Patheon until Drug Product is loaded onto the carrier’s vehicle by Patheon for shipment at the shipping point at which time title and risk of loss or damage shall transfer to the Client. Unless otherwise agreed, Patheon shall, in accordance with the Client’s instructions and as agent for the Client, (i) arrange for shipping to be paid by the Client and (ii) at the Client’s risk and expense, obtain any export licence or other official authorization necessary to export the Drug Product. The Client shall arrange for insurance and shall select the freight carrier used by Patheon to ship Drug Product and may monitor Patheon’s shipping and freight practices as they pertain to this Agreement. Drug Product shall be transported in accordance with the Specifications.

5.6

Invoices and Payment.

Patheon shall submit to the Client, with each shipment of Drug Product, an invoice covering such shipment. Patheon shall also provide the Client with an invoice covering any Inventory or Components which are to be purchased by the Client pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Each such invoice shall, to the extent applicable, identify the Client purchase order number, Drug Product numbers, names and quantities, unit price, freight charges and the total amount to be remitted by the Client. The Client shall pay all such undisputed amounts on invoices within 30 days of the date of the invoice. Any undisputed amounts not paid by Client when due under this Agreement shall be subject to interest beginning on the date which is thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice and including the date upon which such payment is received at a rate equal to the lesser or (i) one and one half percent (1¹/2%) per month or (ii) the highest rate permitted by Applicable Laws. In each case, interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year.

ARTICLE 6

PRODUCT CLAIMS AND RECALLS

6.1

Product Claims.

(a) Product Claims. The Client has the right to reject any portion of any shipment of Drug Product that deviates from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws without invalidating any remainder of such shipment. The Client shall inspect the Drug Product manufactured by Patheon upon receipt thereof and shall give Patheon written notice (a “Deficiency Notice”) of all claims for Drug Product that deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws within 30 days after the Client’s receipt thereof (or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Drug Product, within 30 days after discovery thereof by the Client, but in no event after the expiration date of the Drug Product). Should the Client fail to provide Patheon with the Deficiency Notice within the applicable 30-day period, then the delivery shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Client on the 30^th day after delivery or discovery, as applicable. Except as set out in Section 6.2, Patheon shall have no liability for any deviations for which it has not received notice within the applicable 30-day period.

(b) Determination of Deficiency. Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice, Patheon shall have 10 days to advise the Client by notice in writing that it disagrees with the contents of such Deficiency Notice. If the Client and Patheon fail to agree within 10 days after Patheon’s notice to the Client as to whether any Drug Product identified in the Deficiency Notice deviates from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, then the parties shall mutually select an independent laboratory to evaluate if the Drug Product deviates from the Specifications or cGMPs. Such evaluation shall be binding on the parties, and if such evaluation certifies that Drug Product deviates from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, the Client may reject those Drug Product in the manner contemplated in this Section 6.1. If such evaluation does not so certify in respect of any such Drug Product, then the Client shall be deemed to have accepted delivery of such Drug Product on the 40^th day after delivery (or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Drug Product, on the 40^th day after discovery thereof by the Client, but in no event after the expiration date of the Drug Product).

(c) Patheon Responsibility. In the event the Client rejects Drug Product in accordance with this Section 6.1 and the deviation is determined to arise from Patheon’s failure to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Patheon Manufacturing Responsibilities, Patheon will credit the Client’s account for Patheon’s invoice price to the Client for such defective Drug Product. If the Client shall have previously paid for such defective Drug Product, Patheon shall promptly, at the Client’s election, either: (i) refund the invoice price for such defective Drug Product; (ii) offset such amount against other amounts due to Patheon hereunder; or (iii) replace such Drug Product with conforming Drug Product without the Client being liable for payment therefor under Section 3.1, contingent upon the receipt from the Client

of all Active Compounds or Granulations (as the case may be) (which shall be paid for by Patheon, subject to the limitations set out in Section 10.2) required for the manufacture of such replacement Drug Product.

(d) Shortages. Claims for shortages in the amount of Drug Product shipped by Patheon shall be dealt with as may reasonably be agreed to by the parties.

6.2

Product Recalls and Returns.

(a) Records and Notice. Patheon and the Client shall each maintain such records as may be necessary to permit a Recall of any Drug Product delivered to the Client or customers of the Client. Each party shall promptly notify the other by telephone (to be confirmed in writing) of any information, which might affect the marketability, safety or effectiveness of the Drug Product and/or which might result in the Recall or seizure of the Drug Product. Upon receiving any such notice or upon any such discovery, each party shall cease and desist from further shipments of such Drug Product in its possession or control until a decision has been made whether a Recall or some other corrective action is necessary. The decision to initiate a Recall or to take some other corrective action, if any, shall be made and implemented by the Client. “Recall” shall mean any action: (i) by the Client to recover title to or possession of quantities of the Drug Product sold or shipped to third-parties (including, without limitation, the voluntary withdrawal of Drug Product from the market); or (ii) by any regulatory authorities to detain or destroy any of the Drug Product. “Recall” shall also include any action by either party to refrain from selling or shipping quantities of Drug Product to third-parties which would have been subject to a Recall if sold or shipped.

(b) Recalls. In the event (i) any governmental or regulatory authority issued a directive, order or, following the issuance of a safety warning or alert with respect to Drug Product, a written request that any Drug Product be Recalled, (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction orders such a Recall, or (iii) the Client determines that any Drug Product should be Recalled or that a “dear doctor” letter is required relating the restrictions on the use of any Drug Product, Patheon will co-operate as reasonably required by the Client, having regard to all applicable laws and regulations.

(c) Product Returns. The Client shall have the responsibility for handling customer returns of the Drug Product. Patheon shall provide the Client with such assistance as the Client may reasonably require handling such returns.

(d) Patheon’s Responsibility. To the extent that a Recall or return results from, or arises out of, a failure by Patheon to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Patheon Manufacturing Responsibilities, Patheon shall be responsible for the documented out-of- pocket expenses of such Recall or return and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to replace the Recalled or returned Drug Product with new Drug Product, contingent upon the receipt from the Client of all Granulations (which shall be paid for by Patheon, subject to the limitations set out in herein) required for the manufacture of such replacement Drug Product. In the event that Patheon is unable to replace the Recalled or returned Drug Product (except where such inability results from a failure to receive the required Granulations), then the Client may request Patheon to reimburse the Client for: (i) the price that the Client paid to Patheon for

manufacturing the affected Drug Product; and (ii) the cost of the Granulations. In all other circumstances, Recalls, returns or other corrective actions shall be made at the Client’s cost and expense. Patheon’s maximum liability associated with any Recall or return of a Drug Product shall be $5,000,000 per Recall or return event.

6.3

Disposition of Defective or Recalled Drug Product.

The Client shall not dispose of any damaged, defective, returned or Recalled Drug Product in relation to which it intends to assert a claim against Patheon without Patheon’s prior written authorization to do so. Alternatively, Patheon may instruct the Client to return such Drug Product to Patheon. Patheon shall bear the cost of disposition with respect to any damaged, defective, returned or Recalled Drug Product in relation to which it bears responsibility under Section 6.1 or 6.2 hereof. In all other circumstances, the Client shall bear the cost of disposition with respect to any damaged, defective, returned or Recalled Drug Product.

6.4

Customer Questions and Complaints.

The Client shall have the sole responsibility for responding to questions and complaints from the Client’s customers. Questions or complaints received by Patheon from the Client’s customers shall be promptly referred to the Client. Patheon shall co-operate as reasonably required to allow the Client to determine the cause of and resolve any customer questions and complaints. Such assistance shall include follow-up investigations, including testing. In addition, within 30 days from the date of request, Patheon shall provide the Client with all necessary information that will enable the Client to respond properly to questions or complaints relating to the Drug Product. Unless it is determined that the cause of any customer complaint resulted from a failure by Patheon to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Patheon Manufacturing Responsibilities, all costs incurred in respect of this Section 6.4 shall be borne by the Client.

6.5

Sole Remedy.

Except for the Client’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 8 hereof and the indemnity provided in Section 10.3 and subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 10.1 and 10.2, the remedies described in this Article 6 shall be the Client’s sole remedy for any failure by Patheon to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Patheon Manufacturing Responsibilities.

ARTICLE 7

7.2

Governmental Agencies.

Subject to Section 7.8, each party may communicate with any governmental agency, including but not limited to governmental agencies responsible for granting regulatory approval for the Drug Product, regarding such Drug Product if in the opinion of that party’s counsel, such communication is necessary to comply with the terms of this Agreement or the requirements of any law, governmental order or regulation; provided, however, that unless in the reasonable opinion of its counsel there is a legal prohibition against doing so, such party shall permit the other party to accompany and take part in any communications with the agency, and to receive copies of all such communications from the agency.

7.3

Records and Accounting by Patheon.

Patheon shall keep records of the manufacture, testing and shipping of the Drug Product, and retain samples of such Drug Product as are necessary to comply with the Act and Applicable Laws applicable to Patheon, as well as to assist with resolving Drug Product complaints and other similar investigations. Copies of such records and samples shall be retained for a period of one year following the date of Drug Product expiry, or longer if required by Applicable Laws. The Client is responsible for retaining samples of the Drug Product necessary to comply with regulatory requirements and Applicable Laws applicable to the Client.

7.4

Inspection.

The Client may inspect Patheon reports and records relating to this Agreement during normal business hours and with reasonable advance notice, provided a Patheon representative is present during any such inspection.

7.5

Audit.

(a) Client or its representatives shall have the right, upon reasonable advance notice, with reasonable frequency and during regular business hours, to inspect and audit the Facilities being used by Patheon for production or supply of Drug Product including all documentation related thereto to assure compliance by Patheon with the terms of this Agreement, Applicable Laws and cGMP’s. Such inspection and audit shall be limited to those portions of such facilities as are involved in the production of Drug Product, and shall be, conducted in a manner so as to minimize disruption of Patheon’s business operations.

(b) If any of such audits reveal that the Facilities do not satisfy the requirements of this Agreement, Applicable Laws and cGMP’s in any material respect, then Client shall provide Patheon with 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 Facilities and, if practicable, those steps which should be undertaken in order to remedy such deficiencies. Patheon shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to remedy, within the time to be agreed upon between the parties (the “GMP Remediation Period”), any deficiencies which may be noted in any such audit. In the event that Patheon does not remedy, or is incapable of remedying, any of such material deficiencies within such GMP Remediation Period, then Client shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to Patheon, in which event Patheon shall, at its cost and expense, (i) provide such

reasonable assistance and grant such licenses as shall be necessary in order for Client to transfer the manufacture of the Drug Product to itself or an alternative manufacturer; Client shall be entitled to deduct and/or set off against any amounts due Patheon under this Agreement any costs or expenses incurred by Client in connection with Client obtaining an alternative manufacturer of Drug Product, provided that such amounts shall not exceed a commercially reasonable amount in accordance with generally accepted industry standards.

(c) During the term of this Agreement and for three (3) years after the expiration of the last lot of Drug Product manufactured pursuant to the Specifications, Client may audit manufacturing process records, and quality assurance/quality control records directly relating to the Manufacturing Services and the Drug Product. To the extent such records are not separable from other Client records, Patheon shall give reasonable access to an independent auditor selected by Client who shall audit the records pertaining to the Manufacturing Services and may disclose the results of the audit only to the extent it relates to this Agreement. In no event shall other Client information be disclosed to Client.

(d) Patheon acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 7.5 granting Client certain audit rights shall in no way relieve Patheon of any of its obligations under this Agreement, nor shall such provisions require Client to conduct any such audits.

(e) For greater certainty, the audit rights provided in this Section 7.5 shall not include a right to audit or inspect Patheon’s financial records. Patheon shall notify the Client of any inspections by any governmental agency involving the Drug Product.

7.6

Regulatory Compliance.

(a) Patheon shall advise Client immediately (within 24 hours) if the FDA or other regulatory Authority visits or advises Patheon of its intent to visit Patheon’s Facility in connection with an inquiry or an inspection related to or affecting the Drug Product. Patheon shall provide Client the opportunity to be present at any visit or inspection relative to the Drug Product and to review prior to submission any documentation prepared in response to an inquiry relating to the Drug Product and Patheon shall immediately (within 24 hours) provide Client with the final report resulting from any such inspections or inquiries.

(b) Patheon shall provide Client with immediate notification (within 24 hours) of its receipt of any of the following related to its manufacturing, production or testing activities in connection with or related to the Drug Product: (i) a copy of any list of observations (Form FDA483); Warning Letters; Information Letters; Regulatory Letters or the like issued by the FDA (collectively “Regulatory Notices”) and, to the extent practicable, shall provide Client an opportunity to review any written response relating to the Drug Product prior to submission to the issuing agency. Patheon shall provide to Client any additional Regulatory Notices received from the FDA following a response by Patheon to the initial Regulatory Notice. Patheon shall maintain sole responsibility for any matter pertaining to such inspections.

7.7

Reports.

Patheon will supply on an annual basis all Drug Product data, including release test results, complaint test results, all investigations (in manufacturing, testing and storage), and

the like, that the Client reasonably requires in order to complete any filing under any applicable regulatory regime, including any annual product review report that the Client is required to file with the FDA. At the Client’s request and subject to an additional fee to be agreed by the parties, Patheon may prepare annual product review reports on behalf of the Client and in accordance with the Client’s instructions.

7.8

FDA Filings.

(a) FDA Filings. The Client shall have the sole responsibility for filing all documents with the FDA and taking any other actions that may be required for the receipt of FDA Approval for the commercial manufacture of the Drug Product. Patheon shall assist the Client, to the extent consistent with Patheon’s obligations under this Agreement, to obtain FDA Approval for the commercial manufacture of the Drug Product as quickly as reasonably possible.

(b) Verification of Data. At least 7 days prior to filing any documents with the FDA that incorporate data generated by Patheon, the Client shall provide Patheon with a copy of the documents incorporating such data so as to give Patheon the opportunity to verify the accuracy and regulatory validity of such documents as they relate to the Patheon generated data.

(c) Verification of CMC. At least 7 days prior to filing with the FDA the Chemistry and Manufacturing Controls (“CMC”) of the New Drug Application (“NDA”) or the Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) filing, as the case may be, the Client shall provide Patheon with a copy of the CMC portion that relates to the Manufacturing Services provided by Patheon as well as all supporting documents which have been relied upon to prepare the CMC portion so as to permit Patheon to verify that the CMC portion accurately describes the work that Patheon has performed and the manufacturing processes that Patheon will perform pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) Pre-Approval Inspection. If Client does not provide Patheon with the documentation requested under paragraphs (b) and (c) above within the time stipulated in these paragraphs and if Patheon reasonably believes that Patheon’s standing with the FDA may be jeopardized, Patheon may, in its sole discretion, delay or postpone the FDA pre-approval inspection (“PAI”) until such time Patheon has reviewed the requested documentation and is satisfied with its contents.

(e) Deficiencies. If after discussion with Client, Patheon reasonably determines that any of the information provided by the Client in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) above is inaccurate or deficient in any manner whatsoever (the “Deficiencies”), Patheon shall promptly notify the Client in writing of such Deficiencies. Until such Deficiencies have been resolved or agreement has been reached with the Client, Patheon reserves the right not to participate in the PAI. In such event, Patheon’s non-participation in the PAI shall not be construed as a breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

(f) Client Responsibility. For clarity, the parties agree that in reviewing the documents referred to in paragraphs (b) and (c) above, Patheon’s role will be limited to verifying the accuracy of the description of the work undertaken or to be undertaken by Patheon. As such, Patheon shall not assume any responsibility for the accuracy of the NDA or the ANDA, as the

case may be. The sole responsibility of the preparation and filing of the NDA shall be borne by the Client.

strictly in accordance with the Specifications, and that the Client and not Patheon is in a position to inform and advise potential users of the Drug Product as to the circumstances and manner of use of the Drug Product.

ARTICLE 11

CONFIDENTIALITY

11.1

Confidentiality.

Subject to Section 11.2 below, the parties agree that the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to all confidential information disclosed by the parties under this Agreement, which agreement remains in effect in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that in the event the Confidentiality Agreement expires or is terminated prior to the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue to govern the parties’ obligations of confidentiality with respect to any confidential or proprietary information disclosed by the parties hereunder, for the term of this Agreement, as though such agreement remained in full force and effect.

Publicity.

Except as may be required by Applicable Laws, rules or regulations neither party will originate any publicity, news release, or other public announcement, written or oral, whether to the public press or otherwise, relating to this Agreement, any amendment hereto or to performance hereunder, or the existence of an arrangement between the parties, without the prior written approval of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being understood that such obligation is not intended to restrict either party’s ability to promote, market and sell the Drug Product in a commercially reasonable manner). In the event disclosure is required by applicable law, rules or regulations, then the party required to so disclose such information shall, to the extent possible, provide to the other party for its approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) a written copy of such public announcement at least three (3) business days prior to disclosure. Client agrees that Patheon may refer to Client as a customer in public documents but without information as to the nature and extent of the services provided to Client.

ARTICLE 12

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

12.1

Commercial Disputes.

In the event of any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (other than a dispute determined in accordance with Section 6.1(b) or a Technical Dispute), the parties shall first try to solve it amicably. In this regard, any party may send a notice of dispute to the other, and each party shall appoint, within 10 Business Days from receipt of such notice of dispute, a single representative having full power and authority to solve the dispute. The representatives so designated shall meet as necessary in order to solve such dispute. If these

representatives fail to solve the matter within one month from their appointment, or if a party fails to appoint a representative within the 10 Business Day period set forth above, such dispute shall immediately be referred to the Chief Operating Officer or Executive Vice President, Operations (or such other officer as they may designate) of each party who will meet and discuss as necessary in order to try to solve the dispute amicably. Should the parties fail to reach a resolution under this Section 12.1, their dispute will be referred to the arbitration in accordance with Section 13.15.

12.2

Technical Dispute Resolution.

In the event of a dispute (other than disputes in relation to the matters set out in Sections 6.1(b) and 12.1) between the parties that is exclusively related to technical aspects of the manufacturing, packaging, labelling, quality control testing, handling, storage or other activities under this Agreement (a “Technical Dispute”), the parties shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute by amicable negotiations. In this regard, senior representatives of each party shall, as soon as practicable and in any event no later than 10 Business Days after a written request from either party to the other, meet in good faith to resolve any Technical Dispute. If, despite such meeting, the parties are unable to resolve a Technical Dispute within a reasonable time, and in any event within 30 Business Days of such written request, the Technical Dispute shall, at the request of either party, be referred for determination to an expert in accordance with the provisions of Schedule F. In the event that the parties cannot agree whether a dispute is a Technical Dispute, Section 12.1 shall prevail. For greater certainty, the parties agree that the release of the Drug Product for sale or distribution pursuant to the applicable marketing approval for such Drug Product shall not by itself indicate compliance by Patheon with its obligations in respect of the Manufacturing Services and further that nothing in this Agreement (including Schedule F) shall remove or limit the authority of the relevant qualified person (as specified by the Quality Agreement) to determine whether the Drug Product is to be released for sale or distribution.

(a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York excluding the conflict of laws rules thereof.

(b) Any disputes or disagreements between Client and Patheon under this Agreement except as set forth below, shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to the commercial arbitration rules of the 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 Patheon and Client or, if Patheon and Client cannot agree on such arbitrator, in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules. 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) 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 365 days of the arbitrator’s selection or appointment and within 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.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the duly authorized representatives of the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.

TECHNICAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Technical Disputes which cannot be resolved by negotiation as provided in Section 12.2 shall be resolved in the following matter:

1. Appointment of Expert. Within 10 Business Days after a party requests pursuant to Section 12.2 that an expert be appointed to resolve a Technical Dispute, the parties shall jointly appoint a mutually acceptable expert with experience and expertise in the subject matter of the dispute. If the parties are unable to so agree within such 10 Business Day period, or in the event of disclosure of a conflict by an expert pursuant to paragraph 2 hereof which results in the parties not confirming the appointment of such expert, then an expert (willing to act in that capacity hereunder) shall be appointed by an experienced arbitrator on the roster of the American Arbitration Association.

2. Conflicts of Interest. Any person appointed as an expert shall be entitled to act and continue to act as such notwithstanding that at the time of his appointment or at any time before he gives his determination, he has or may have some interest or duty which conflicts or may conflict with his appointment provided that before accepting such appointment (or as soon as practicable after he becomes aware of the conflict or potential conflict) he fully discloses any such interest or duty and the parties shall after such disclosure have confirmed his appointment.

3. Not Arbitrator. No expert shall be deemed to be an arbitrator and the provisions of the American Arbitration Act or of any other applicable statute (foreign or domestic) and the law relating to arbitration shall not apply to any such expert or the expert’s determination or the procedure by which the expert reaches his determination to be made pursuant to this Schedule F.

4. Procedure. Where an expert is appointed:

(a)

Timing. The expert shall be so appointed on condition that (i) he promptly fixes a reasonable time and place for receiving representations, submissions or information from the parties and that he issues such authorizations to the parties and any relevant third party for the proper conduct of his determination and any hearing and (ii) he renders his decision (with full reasons) within 15 Business Days (or such other date as the parties and the expert may agree) after receipt of all information requested by him pursuant to paragraph 4(b) hereof.

(b)

Disclosure of Evidence. The parties undertake one to the other to provide to any expert all such evidence and information within their respective possession or control as the expert may reasonably consider necessary for determining the matter before him which they shall disclose promptly and in any event within five Business Days of a written request from the relevant expert to do so.

(c)

Advisors. Each party may appoint such counsel, consultants and advisors as it feels appropriate to assist the expert in his determination and so as to present their

respective cases so that at all times the parties shall co-operate and seek to narrow and limit the issues to be determined.

(d)

Appointment of New Expert. If within the time specified in paragraph 4(a) above the expert shall not have rendered a decision in accordance with his appointment, a new expert may (at the request of either party) be appointed and the appointment of the existing expert shall thereupon cease for the purposes of determining the matter at issue between the parties save that if the existing expert renders his decision with full reasons prior to the appointment of the new expert, then such a decision shall have effect and the proposed appointment of the new expert shall be withdrawn.

(e)

Final and Binding. The determination of the expert shall, save in the event of fraud or manifest error, be final and binding upon the parties.

Costs. Each party shall bear its own costs in connection with any matter referred to an expert hereunder and, in the absence of express provision in the Agreement to the contrary, the costs and expenses of the expert shall be shared equally by the parties.

Re:

Reliant Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“RELIANT”), and Patheon Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Patheon”) have entered into a Manufacturing Services Agreement dated March , 2004 (the “MSA”) whereby Patheon agreed, among other things, to provide certain manufacturing services (the “Services”) with respect to DynaCirc CR (the “Product”).

In order for Patheon to perform the Services, certain capital equipment will be provided by RELIANT and installed at Patheon’s Cincinnati Operations facility (the “Facility”). As well, certain modifications will be made to the Facility to accommodate such equipment.

The purpose of this Letter Agreement is to set out the parties’ mutual agreement with respect to the equipment and capital expenditures required under the MSA.

1.	Equipment

Until this Letter Agreement is terminated in accordance with paragraph 7 below, the Parties agree to purchase certain manufacturing equipment (the “Equipment”) and to implement certain facility upgrades for use in connection with the manufacture of the Product in accordance with the terms of this Letter Agreement.

A detailed description of the Equipment is outlined in Schedule A attached hereto.

2.	Expenditures

The responsibility for the payment of the estimated costs associated with the Equipment and the Facility Modifications (the “Capital Expenditures”) will be allocated between Patheon and RELIANT in the manner set out in Schedule A hereto.

Each Party shall make all necessary arrangements, at its sole expense, for the purchase and shipping of the Equipment it has agreed to purchase, as indicated on Schedule A, to the Facility.

To the extent possible (i.e. where Equipment is not being physically installed at the Facility) all Equipment for which RELIANT is responsible under Schedule A shall be purchased by way of purchase order with instructions indicating that the Equipment be shipped to Reliant Pharmaceuticals, LLC Headquarters and billed to Accounts Payable, Reliant Pharmaceuticals, LLC.

Where certain Equipment cannot be shipped to Reliant Pharmaceuticals, LLC Headquarters, the invoice may be billed to Patheon and RELIANT agrees to forward payment for the invoice to Patheon by wire transfer within the payment terms indicated by the supplier of the Equipment which shall be forward to RELIANT by Patheon.

Notwithstanding the above, RELIANT agrees to pay Patheon directly by wire transfer for the costs associated with Item 12 under Schedule A (Coating Pan) as Patheon has already purchased this particular piece of Equipment.

Patheon shall make all necessary arrangements for the installation, qualification and testing of the Equipment at the Facility. Patheon represents that it shall install and test the Equipment in a good and workmanlike manner, including following the manufacturer’s written instructions.

Patheon warrants that the Equipment shall be cleaned in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with cGMP (as such term is defined in the Agreement) and applicable Laws (as such term is defined in the Agreement).

3.	Facility Modifications

Certain modifications must be made to the Facility in order to accommodate the Equipment and are listed on Schedule A attached hereto.

4.	Maintenance of Equipment

Patheon shall operate and use the Equipment in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Equipment manufacturer’s service manual provided by RELIANT, if any.

(b)

While the Equipment is in Patheon’s possession, Patheon shall assume the costs for all routine and preventative maintenance of the Equipment.

(c)

The costs of any repairs required as a result of the use of the Equipment for RELIANT products, other than routine and preventative maintenance costs, not covered by applicable manufacturer warranties shall be equitably allocated by the parties. In the event of any such repairs, Patheon shall promptly provide written notice of estimated cost of the repairs and the parties shall agree upon the allocation of such costs within 10 business days of RELIANT’s receipt of such notice.

(d)

In the event of any repairs required as a result of the use of the Equipment for products of other clients of Patheon not covered by applicable manufacturer warranties shall be the responsibility of Patheon.

While the Equipment is in Patheon’s possession, risk of loss shall reside with Patheon and Patheon shall insure the Equipment under its policy of standard all-risk insurance and name Reliant as the loss-payee.

Notwithstanding the above, title to the Abatement Equipment listed under Schedule A shall reside with Patheon once it has been installed at the Facility.

If Patheon is able to utilize any of the other Equipment (other than the Abatement Equipment) for the commercial manufacturing of products for any of its other clients and RELIANT has contributed towards the costs of that particular Equipment as set out in Schedule A hereto, then the Parties shall work together to agree on a reimbursement arrangement which is mutually agreeable to both Parties.

The Equipment shall be deemed to be part of the “Approved Facility” (as such term is defined in the Agreement) and Patheon shall comply with the terms of the Development Agreement and the MSA in performing services for RELIANT’s on the Equipment as part of the Project. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the MSA and the terms of this Letter Agreement, the terms of this Letter Agreement shall govern with respect to the subject matter hereof.

This Letter Agreement may be signed by facsimile or in two counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered or transmitted, shall be considered an original and both of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
