The replacement Product and the cost of the laboratory will be at Impax’s cost if the laboratory finds that the lot in question is non-conforming to Specifications or otherwise defective. The costs of the independent laboratory will be paid by Teva if the lot in question is found by the laboratory to be conforming and compliant. The findings of the laboratory shall be final and binding upon the Parties, and shall not be subject to appeal or review by any third party. | ||

to supplement for each of the Products the ANDAs submitted with the FDA as of the Effective Date, as well as any Approvals (including ANDAs) to be submitted with the FDA or any non-U.S. Regulatory Authority thereafter in order to permit Teva and/or its Affiliate or a third party reasonably acceptable to both Parties, to manufacture and/or package the Products for the Territory. Subject to Impax providing an estimate of anticipated expenses, and except as otherwise provided in Section 7.5 and 7.6, above Teva shall pay all expenses associated with the foregoing, such expenses consisting of pre-approved reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Impax, supply of API at cost to Impax, and a per diem charge of One Thousand U.S. Dollars (U.S. $1,000) for each employee of Impax, assisting at Teva’s request, with supplementing the ANDAs. |

8.1 | Within one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the anticipated Launch Date for each of the Products for each country in the Territory, Teva shall provide to Impax a nonbinding written forecast of estimated quantities of Product that Teva and its Affiliates anticipate ordering from Impax during the twelve (12) month period commencing with the Launch Date for such country.

The first quarter of each such updated forecast shall be deemed a firm purchase order. | ||

Impax shall supply to Teva and its Affiliates’ the quantity of Products on the delivery dates and at the delivery destination stated therein; provided, however, Impax shall not be obligated but shall be required to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to fill any purchase order to the extent of quantities exceeding one hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the amount last forecasted for the applicable Calendar Quarter except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10. | ||
8.3 | Any terms and conditions of an invoice, acknowledgement or similar document provided by Impax for Products, or, any terms and conditions of purchase orders provided by Teva for Products, which are inconsistent with or in addition to the terms of this Agreement shall be null and void. |

Impax hereby undertakes and agrees that it shall expend not less than Twenty Two Million U.S. Dollars (U.S. $22,000,000) towards the construction of the production facilities located in Hayward California, including the facility located on San Antonio Street (the “New Facility”) and the development of the Products. The Loan shall be evidenced by Impax’s promissory note in the form annexed hereto at Annex H (the “Note”). Without limiting any other rights and remedies available to Teva under this Agreement, the Note, at law or in equity, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default as defined in Section 10.7 Teva shall have the right to declare the Loan immediately due and payable by delivering written notice to such effect to Impax. Impax shall repay the then outstanding balance of the Loan to Teva, in cash, within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such notice. In the event Impax achieves the milestones set forth in Annex C or Annex D, as applicable, on a timely basis, then the outstanding balance of the Loan shall be reduced by the corresponding amounts designated for each such achieved milestone (each such amount is referred to herein as the “Milestone Amount”). If, on the other hand, Impax fails to meet any of the milestones set forth in Annex C or Annex D, as applicable, by the respective dates set forth for each such milestone (including as a result of an early termination of this Agreement), then Teva shall have the option, on a Product-by-Product basis with respect to the applicable milestone, to either: |
(a) | require Impax to repay to Teva that portion of the Loan equal to the applicable Milestone Amount; or | ||
(b) | require Impax to repay to Teva that portion of the Loan equal to fifty percent (50%) of the applicable Milestone Amount. |
Repayment by Impax of the amounts under subparagraphs (a) and (b), above, and Section 4.3, if applicable, shall be made to Teva not later |

10.2 | In the event Teva chooses option 10.1(a), above, then the grant to Teva with respect to the Marketing of the subject Product for the U.S. shall be deemed nonexclusive and effective as of such exercise, and the provisions of Sections 2.3 - 2.11 and such other provisions of this Agreement respecting Competing Products of the subject Products shall no longer apply to Teva and/or Impax or their respective Affiliates with respect to such Products for the U.S.; provided, however, in any event, Impax shall remain obligated to supply Teva’s and/or its Affiliates’ requirements of the applicable Product on a most-favored basis. | ||

10.4 | Upon the first Launch Date of any Tier 2 or Tier 3 Product in the U.S., Teva shall sell back to Impax for an aggregate purchase price of One U.S. Dollar (U.S. $1.00) such number of shares of Impax Common Stock that equals sixteen and two thirds percent (16 2/3%) of the aggregate shares of Impax Common Stock purchased by Teva from Impax pursuant to Section 10.3. | ||
10.5 | Notwithstanding anything contained in Sections 10.1 or 10.3 to the contrary, in no event shall Teva be obligated to purchase (or accept as repayment of the Loan pursuant to Section 10.1) such number of shares of Impax Common Stock that at the time of transfer to Teva or its Affiliate would, in the aggregate, exceed nineteen point nine percent (19.9%) of the then issued and outstanding shares of Impax Common Stock. If any such transfer would result in Teva and its Affiliates owning more than nineteen point nine percent (19.9%) of the outstanding Impax Common Stock then, at Teva’s request, such excess amounts shall be paid by Impax to Teva in cash. | ||
10.6 | Throughout the period that the Loan, or any portion thereof, is outstanding, Impax hereby covenants and agrees it will not, nor will it permit any of its Affiliates to: |
(a) | Liquidate, windup or dissolve. | ||

(e) | Directly or indirectly purchase, acquire or lease any property from, or sell, transfer or lease any property to, or enter into any other transaction, with any Affiliate of Impax or any party related to the management of Impax except the assignment of Impax’s right to purchase the New Facility to Affiliates (subject to Teva’s rights pursuant to Section 10.11) at prices and on terms not less favorable to it than those which would have been obtained in an arm’s-length transaction with a non-affiliated third party. |
10.7 | Subject to any applicable grace, notice and cure period provided for herein the occurrence and the continuance of any of the following events is referred to herein as an “Event of Default”: |
(a) | If Impax shall fail to pay, when due, any portion of the Loan or interest thereon; or | ||

10.9 | The Loan shall bear interest at the annual rate of eight percent (8%) accruing from the date of grant (the “Interest Obligation”). The Interest Obligation shall be due and payable on January 15, 2004 or such earlier date that the outstanding balance of the Loan is due (without right of set-off, deduction or other withholding), to the extent |
22
there remains any outstanding balance on the Loan pursuant to this Section 10, and only with respect to such portion of the Loan that had not been forgiven as of such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Teva agrees to forgive the Interest Obligation in the event and upon the date that Impax has obtained tentative or final Approvals for any three of the Products. | |||

11.4 | Teva shall have the sole and exclusive right to determine all terms and conditions of sale of the Products to its customers. | ||
11.5 | Subject to Teva having received full launch quantities of the applicable Product based upon Teva’s forecast, Teva shall launch each Product on a country-by-country basis within fifteen (15) days of final Approval of each Product; provided, however, that if either Party has a written opinion of patent counsel reasonably acceptable to the other Party that launch would result in a significant risk of damages for infringement of third party intellectual property rights, then the Parties shall agree upon a later launch for such Product in the subject country in the Territory or, alternatively, Teva may compel launch of the Product in such country in |
23
the Territory. If Teva so compels a launch of a Product in any country in the Territory, then it shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Impax for any damages and expenses of an Intellectual Rights Suit to the extent directly related to the patents set forth in the above-referenced Impax patent opinion and to the extent caused by the launch of the Product and not attributable in whole or in part to any untrue representation or warranty of Impax or breach of a covenant made by Impax hereunder.

14.4 | As soon as a Party becomes aware of the possibility of a claim involving indemnification under this Section 14, the indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying Party prompt written notice in writing and shall permit the indemnifying Party to have control over the defense of such claim or suit.

Furthermore, Teva shall provide Impax with copies of all pleadings and other litigation documents and shall consult with Impax in connection with litigation strategy.

16 | REGULATORY LITIGATION | ||

18.3 | To the extent permitted or required by law, any decision to recall, withdraw or cease distribution of any Product as a result of a violation of the applicable Approval or any Applicable Law, or because the Product presents a possible safety risk may be made by either Party after consulting with the other Party and taking such reasonable action as the Parties consider to be appropriate under the circumstances to minimize the risk to both Parties and to assure compliance by the Parties with the requirements of the applicable Approval. Any such recall or market withdrawal shall be controlled by Teva; provided, however, that the Parties shall use their best efforts to work together to repossess the affected Product. If any recall or market withdrawal of any Product is the result of the negligence of either Party (or its Affiliate) or the breach by either Party (of its Affiliate) of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement by that Party (or its Affiliate), including the Product warranties, then the negligent or breaching Party shall pay the costs of any such recall action and such costs shall not be charged to the other Party.

Upon such termination the grant hereunder to Teva to Market such Tier 2 Products in the U.S. shall revert to Impax and, except as provided in this Section 21.4, Teva’s obligations hereunder with regard to such Tier 2 Products shall terminate. To the extent applicable, Teva shall indicate in its notice if it intends to commercialize a Competing Product to the subject Tier 2 Product that it internally developed (as distinguished from a “Transaction Event”). Upon receipt of Teva’s written notice, Impax shall have sixty (60) days to elect to, if applicable (as a result of Teva setting forth in its notice its intention to commercialize a Competing Product), to participate in Teva’s commercialization of such Competing Product(s), in the U.S., in which case, such Competing Product(s) shall be deemed to be the corresponding Tier 2 Product terminated by Teva for purposes of this Agreement.

35
Intellectual Rights Legal Expenses paid by Teva under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Tier 2 Product(s). | |||

22.3 | In the event this Agreement is terminated under Section 21.3, all rights and licenses granted pursuant to this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Xxxxxxx 000(x) xx 00 X.X.X. §000 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(35A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that Teva, as a licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights (including, without limitation, any right to enforce any exclusivity provision of this Agreement (including any embodiment of such “intellectual property”)), remedies and elections under the Bankruptcy Code.

25 | FORCE MAJEURE |
25.1 | Neither Party shall be liable for non-performance or delay in the fulfillment of its obligations with the exception of payment obligations and those obligations respecting the timely achievement of the applicable milestones, when any such non-performance or delay shall be occasioned by any unforeseeable cause beyond the reasonable control of Teva or Impax, as the case may be, including without limitation, acts of God, fire, flood, earthquakes, explosions, sabotage, strikes, or labor disturbances (regardless of the reasonableness of the demands of the labor force), civil commotion, riots, military invasions, wars, failure of utilities, failure of carriers, or any acts, restraints, requisitions, regulations, or directives issued by a competent government authority (“Force Majeure Events”). | ||

SECTION 5. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser.
The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
5.1. Corporate Power and Authority.
The Purchaser has all requisite power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver, enter

and the Registration Rights Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
and the Registration Rights Agreement by the Purchaser have been duly authorized by all required
corporate and other actions. The Purchaser has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and the

the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Purchaser enforceable against the Purchaser in
accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,

the economic risk of such investment. The Purchaser has had the opportunity to request and receive
all information deemed necessary by it to evaluate an investment in the Company. The Purchaser is
purchasing the Shares for its own account or for one or more accounts as to each of which it
exercises sole investment discretion solely for the purpose of investment and not with a view to,
or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of applicable securities
laws. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act
and may be sold or disposed of in the absence of such registration only pursuant to an exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. It is understood that the disposition of
the Purchaser’s property shall at all times be within the Purchaser’s control. If the Purchaser
should in the future decide to dispose of any of its Shares it is understood that it may do so only
in compliance with the Securities Act, applicable securities laws and this Agreement. The
Purchaser is an Accredited Investor.
52
5.3.
No General Solicitation. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has not received nor
is it aware of any general solicitation or general advertising of the Shares, including without
limitation, (a) any communication published in any newspaper or magazine or broadcast over
television or radio or (b) any seminar or meeting to which people were invited by means of a
general solicitation or general advertising.
5.4.
Brokers.
No broker, finder or investment banker or other party is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s
or other similar fee or commission in connection with this Agreement or the Registration Rights
Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, based upon arrangements made
by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.
SECTION 6. Restrictions On Transfer
(a) The Purchaser agrees that it will not sell or otherwise dispose of any Shares unless such
Shares have been registered under the Securities Act and, to the extent required, under any
applicable state securities laws, or pursuant to an applicable exemption from such registration
requirements. The Company may endorse on all Share certificates a legend stating or referring to
such transfer restrictions; provided, that no such legend shall be endorsed on any Share
certificates that, when issued, are no longer subject to the restrictions of this Section 6.
(b) The Purchaser agrees to the placement on certificates representing the Shares issued to
the Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof, or on any certificate issued at any time in exchange or
substitution for any certificate bearing such legend, a legend (the “Private Placement
Legend”) substantially as set forth below:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S.
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
LAW, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO
AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION
NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS.
(c) The Private Placement Legend shall be removed from a certificate representing the Shares
if the securities represented thereby are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act or there is delivered to the Company such satisfactory evidence, which may
include an opinion of independent counsel, as reasonably may be requested by the Company, to
confirm that neither such legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to
ensure that transfers of such securities will not violate the registration and prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act.

2.1. Shelf Registration.
(a) Filing. Subject to Section 2.1(c) and the Investor having purchased all of the
shares of common stock of the Issuer which it is required to purchase pursuant to the terms of the
Stock Purchase Agreement, the Issuer shall file with the SEC on or before 30 days after the last

Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities by the holders
thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such holders
and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared
effective under the Securities Act.
(b) Continued Effectiveness. Subject to Section 2.1(c), the Issuer shall use its
reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective in order to
permit the Prospectus forming a part thereof to be usable by the holders during the Term (as
defined in Section 3.1 hereof) of this Agreement. The Issuer shall not be deemed to have used its
reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective if the Issuer
voluntarily takes any action or omits to take any action that would result in the inability of any
holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be able to offer and
sell any such Registrable Securities during the term of this Agreement, unless such action or
omission is required by applicable law.
(c) Suspension of Registration. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use
of the Shelf Registration Statement at any time would require the Issuer to make an Adverse
Disclosure, the Issuer may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the holders,
61
delay
the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, the Shelf Registration Statement. In
the event the Issuer exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the holders agree to
suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the
Prospectus relating to the Shelf Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell
Registrable Securities. The Issuer shall immediately notify the holders upon the expiration of any
period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 2.1(c). Issuer may not suspend
registration under this Section 2.1(c) for more than 75 days in any 12 month period.
(d) Underwritten Offering. If the holders of not less than a majority of the
Registrable Securities included in any offering pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement so
elect, such offering shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering and the Issuer, if necessary,
shall amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement for such purpose. The holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Underwritten Offering shall, after
consulting with the Issuer, have the right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters for
the offering.
2.2. Black-out Periods
Black-out Periods for Holders. In the event of a registration by the Issuer covering
a sale of common stocks by the Issuer for cash, the holders of Registrable Securities agree, if
requested by the Issuer (or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, by the managing underwriter
or underwriters), not to effect any public sale or distribution (excluding any sale pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of any securities (except, in each case, as part of the
applicable registration, if permitted) which securities are the same as or similar to those being
registered in connection with such registration, or which are convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for such securities, during the period beginning seven days before, and ending 90 days
(or such lesser period as may be permitted by the Issuer or such managing underwriter or
underwriters) after, the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such
registration, to the extent such holders are timely notified in writing by the Issuer or the
managing underwriter or underwriters. Issuer shall use its reasonable efforts to give 10 days
notice to the holders of the Registable Securities.
2.3. Registration Procedures.
(a) In connection with the Issuer’s registration obligations in this Agreement, the Issuer
will, subject to the limitations set forth herein, use its reasonable best efforts to effect any
such registration so as to permit the sale of the applicable Registrable Securities in accordance
with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof as expeditiously as reasonably
practicable, and in connection therewith the Issuer will:
(i) before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements
thereto and in connection therewith, furnish to the underwriter or underwriters, if any, and to

statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus and any preliminary Prospectus, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or, if for any other reason it shall be
necessary to amend or supplement such Registration Statement or Prospectus in order to comply with
the Securities Act and, in either case as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter, prepare
and file with the SEC an amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus which

reasonably requests in writing, and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or
advisable to keep such registration or qualification in effect so as to permit the commencement and
continuance of sales and dealings in such jurisdictions for as long as may be necessary to complete
the distribution of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement;

shall also be made to and for the benefit of such holders and that any or all of the conditions
precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement be conditions
precedent to the obligations of such holders. No holder shall be required in any such underwriting

other transaction covered by Rule 145 under the Securities Act, or any registration on any form
which does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a
registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities), the Issuer shall, at such

each Holder given within twenty-five (25) days after mailing of such notice in accordance with
Section 3.3, the Issuer shall, except as herein provided, cause to be registered under the

discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Issuer. If the total amount of
securities, including Registrable Securities requested by stockholders to be included in such
offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Issuer that the underwriters
determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Issuer
shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including
Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not
jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among
the selling stockholders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included
therein owned by each selling stockholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed
to by such selling stockholders. The piggyback rights granted to the Holders in this Section 2.5
is hereby expressly subordinated to the piggyback rights granted under Article II of that certain

expenses of any Person, including special
67
experts, retained by the Issuer. In addition, the Issuer shall pay up to $15,000 of one

Registrable Securities being registered or brokerage fees and commissions incurred by holders of

(b) The Issuer shall not be required to pay any other costs or expenses in the course of the
transactions contemplated hereby, including underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer
taxes attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities and the fees and expenses of counsel to
the underwriters other than pursuant to clause (ii) of paragraph (a) above.
2.8. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the Issuer. The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless,
to the full extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities and their respective
officers, directors, advisors and agents and employees and each Person who controls (within the
meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) such Persons from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof, whether or not
such indemnified party is a party thereto) and expenses (including reasonable costs of
investigation and legal expenses), joint or several (each, a “Loss” and collectively
“Losses”), arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were
registered under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus
contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by
reference therein) or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a
Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not
misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by Issuer of the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder;
provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be liable to any indemnified party in
any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any such Registration Statement
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer by such holder
expressly for use in the preparation thereof. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability
Issuer may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of such holder or any indemnified party and shall survive the
transfer of such securities by such holder. The Issuer will also indemnify, if applicable and if
requested, underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry
professionals participating in any distribution pursuant hereto, their officers and directors and
each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Indemnified
Persons.
(b) Indemnification by the Holders. Each selling holder of Registrable Securities
agrees (severally and not jointly) to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by
law, the Issuer, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Issuer (within the
meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) from and against any Losses
68
resulting from any
untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the
Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities
Act (including any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus contained therein or any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein), or necessary to
make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent,
that such untrue statement or omission had been contained in any information furnished in writing
by such selling holder to the Issuer specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement.
This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability such holder may otherwise have. Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of the Issuer or any indemnified party. In no event shall the liability of any selling
holder of Registrable Securities hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the
proceeds received by such holder under the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such
indemnification obligation. The Issuer shall be entitled to receive indemnities from, if
applicable and if requested, underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities
industry professionals participating in the distribution, to the same extent as provided above
(with appropriate modification) with respect to information so furnished in writing by such Persons
specifically for inclusion in any Prospectus or Registration Statement. Each holder also shall
indemnify any underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each
Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent
as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Issuer.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification
hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect
to which it seeks indemnification (provided, that any delay or failure to so notify the
indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder only to the
extent, if at all, that it is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or
failure) and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any
Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to select and employ separate
counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such Person unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to
pay such fees or expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of
such claim within a reasonable time after having received notice of such claim from the Person
entitled to indemnification hereunder and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person,
(C) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person, based upon advice of its counsel, a conflict of
interest exists between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims or (D)
the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal
defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to
those available to the indemnifying party (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying
party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the
indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense
of such claim on behalf of such Person). If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying
party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without
its consent, but such consent may not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that an
indemnifying party shall not be required to consent to any settlement involving the imposition of
equitable
69
remedies or involving the imposition of any material obligations on such indemnifying
party other than financial obligations for which such indemnified party will be indemnified
hereunder. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense, the indemnifying party shall have the
right to settle such action without the consent of the indemnified party; provided, that
the indemnifying party shall be required to obtain such consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld) if the settlement includes any admission of wrongdoing on the part of the
indemnified party or any restriction on the indemnified party or its officers or directors. No
indemnifying party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does
not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each
indemnified party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect to such claim or
litigation. The indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or
related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and
other charges of more than one separate firm (together with one firm of local counsel) at any one
time from all such indemnified party or parties unless (x) the employment of more than one counsel
has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party or parties, (y) a conflict or potential
conflict exists or may exist (based on advice of counsel to an indemnified party) between such
indemnified party and the other indemnified parties or (z) an indemnified party has reasonably
concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it that are
different from or in addition to those available to the other indemnified parties, in each of which
cases the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such
additional counsel or counsels.
(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the
paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.8 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient
to hold it harmless as contemplated by paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.8, then the
indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a
result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other. The relative fault
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates
to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue
statement or omission. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.8(d) to the contrary, no
indemnifying party (other than the Issuer) shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.8(d) to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such
indemnifying party from the sale of Registrable Securities in the offering to which the Losses of
the indemnified parties relate exceeds the amount of any damages which such indemnifying party has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission. The parties hereto
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.8(d) were
determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does
not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph. No person guilty
of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall
be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. If indemnification is available under this Section 2.8, the indemnifying
parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent provided in Sections 2.8(a) and
2.8(b) hereof without regard to the relative fault of said indemnifying parties or indemnified
party.
70
2.9. Rules 144 and 144A. The Issuer covenants that it will file the reports required
to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Issuer is not required to file such reports, it will,
upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities after the transfer date, make publicly
available other information so long as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 or 144A under
the Securities Act), and it will take such further action as any holder of Registrable Securities
may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell
Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the
exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 or 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such Rules
may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the
SEC. Upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities, the Issuer will deliver to such
holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the
specifics thereof.
SECTION 3. MISCELLANEOUS

in any event no earlier than two years after the last issuance to Teva of Registrable Securities

Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to a Registration Statement or (B) the holders are
permitted to sell their Registrable Securities under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any

2.9 shall survive any termination.
3.2. Injunctive Relief. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that it will be
impossible to measure in money the damages that would be suffered if the parties fail to comply
with any of the obligations herein imposed on them and that in the event of any such failure, an
aggrieved Person will be irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at law. Any such
Person shall, therefore, be entitled (in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled
in law or in equity) to injunctive relief, including, without limitation, specific performance, to
enforce such obligations, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the
provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the defense that there is an
adequate remedy at law.
3.3. Notices. All notices, other communications or documents provided for or
permitted to be given hereunder, shall be made in writing and shall be given either personally by
hand-delivery, by facsimile transmission, by mailing the same in a sealed envelope, registered

3.4. Successors, Assigns and Transferees. (a) The registration rights of any holder
under this Agreement with respect to any Registrable Securities may be transferred and assigned,

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto (i) agrees that any
claim, action or proceeding by such party seeking any relief whatsoever arising
72
out of, or in
connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought only in
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and in any State court
located in the City of Philadelphia and not in any other State or Federal court in the United
States of America or any court in any other country, (ii) agrees to submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction of such courts located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for purposes of all legal
proceedings arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby and (iii) irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding
brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
3.6. Headings. The section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for
reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this
Agreement.
3.7. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of
this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law
but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law in any jurisdiction, such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in
such jurisdiction, and this agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction
as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been
contained therein.
3.8. Amendment; Waiver.
(a) This Agreement may not be amended or modified and waivers and consents to departures from
the provisions hereof may not be given, except by an instrument or instruments in writing making
specific reference to this Agreement and signed by the Issuer, the holders of a majority of
Registrable Securities of each class then outstanding. Each holder of any Registrable Securities
at the time or thereafter outstanding shall be bound by any amendment, modification, waiver or
consent authorized by this Section 3.8(a), whether or not such Registrable Securities shall have
been marked accordingly.
(b) The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not
operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any
other or subsequent breach. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure on the part
of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or
remedy hereunder, or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, shall operate
as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by
such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
or remedy.
73
3.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate
counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts each of which when so executed

PROMISSORY NOTE
$22,000,000.00 | Philadelphia, PA | |
June 27, 2001 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, IMPAX LABORATORIES INC., a corporation duly organized
under the laws of the State of Delaware, (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of
TEVA PHARMACEUTICALS CURACAO N.V., a corporation duly organized under the laws of the Netherlands
Antilles, having an office at World Trade Center Curacao, Xxxx X.X.X. 00, Xxxxxxxxx Xxx Xxxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxxx Antilles (the “Company”) or, at the Company’s option, at such other place
and/or to such other entity as may be designated in writing from time to time by the Company, the
principal sum of TWENTY TWO MILLION ($22,000,000.00) AND 00/100 DOLLARS together with interest
thereon from the date hereof in lawful money of the United States of America or, as provided in the
Strategic Alliance Agreement by and between the Company and the Borrower, dated as of the date
hereof (the “Strategic Alliance Agreement”), in shares of the Borrower’s common stock, par
value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”) at the Designated Share Price (as defined in the
Strategic Alliance Agreement), in either case payable as provided below.
This Promissory Note (this “Note”) shall bear interest on the unpaid principal balance
from the date hereof until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at an interest rate
equal to eight (8%) percent per annum, but in no event shall such interest exceed the maximum rate
of interest authorized by applicable law. Interest will be calculated on the outstanding and
unforgiven principal balance on the Maturity Date (as defined below) at the per annum rate
compounded on a yearly basis as of each anniversary of the date hereof. Interest shall only become
due and payable on the Maturity Date and then only if not forgiven pursuant to Section 10.9 of the
Strategic Alliance Agreement.
The “Maturity Date” shall be the earlier of (a) January 15, 2004 or (b) thirty (30)
days after the date on which the Borrower receives notice from the Company that (i) an “Event of
Default” has occurred under Section 10.7 of the Strategic Alliance Agreement, or (ii) Borrower has
failed to provide the Company with the Security by December 31, 2001. On the Maturity Date the
remaining unpaid and unforgiven principal balance of this Note, any interest thereon, and all costs
and expenses accrued hereunder, shall be due and payable. If any payment due hereunder (including,
but not limited to, any interest payment and the entire unpaid and unforgiven principal balance
under this Note if accelerated or otherwise matured) is not paid when due, the entire unpaid and
unforgiven principal balance of this Note shall bear interest at a rate of twelve (12%) percent per
annum (the “Default Rate”) from the date such payment was due to and including the date
when paid, but in no event shall such interest exceed the maximum rate of interest authorized by
applicable law. All payments made to the Company by the Borrower due to the occurrence of an
“Event of Default” under the Strategic Alliance Agreement may only be made in lawful money of the
United States of America.
77
The principal amount due under this Note on the Maturity Date shall be reduced by those sums
set forth (a) on Annex C and Annex D, as applicable, to the Strategic Alliance Agreement upon the
achievement of those certain milestone events as provided in Section 10.1 of the Strategic Alliance
Agreement, and/or (b) in subsection (b) of Section 10.1 of the Strategic Alliance Agreement,
pursuant to the exercise by the Company of the option provided to it under said Section 10.1(b).
The undersigned shall make all payments due under this Note not later than 12:00 noon
(Philadelphia, PA time) on the day when due without set-off, deduction or counterclaim of any kind
or nature and free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any taxes, levies,
imports, duties, fees, charges, restrictions or conditions of any nature whatsoever. All cash
payments shall be made by wire transfer to the account specified in writing by the Company, and any
payments made by the Borrower in Common Stock, as permitted by the applicable provisions of the
Strategic Alliance Agreement shall be made by delivery of stock certificates representing such
shares to the Company.
As of the date hereof the indebtedness evidenced by this Note is unsecured, however, on or
before December 31, 2001, the Borrower shall provide the Company with the security provided for in
Section 10.10 of the Strategic Alliance Agreement (the “Security”).
No failure by the Company to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the
Company of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies of the Company as herein specified
are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies that the Company may otherwise
have, including without limitation any rights or remedies the Company may have under the Strategic
Alliance Agreement.
No modification, rescission, waiver, forbearance, release or amendment of any provision of
this Note shall be made, except by a written agreement duly executed by the undersigned and the
Company.
The undersigned hereby waives diligence, presentment, protest and demand, and also notice of
protest, demand, dishonor and nonpayment of this Note.
This Note is made and delivered in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and shall be construed
under, and governed by, the laws of such Commonwealth, without regard to principles of conflict of
laws.
The undersigned hereby submits to personal jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
consents to the jurisdiction of any competent state or federal district court sitting in the City
of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and waives any and all rights to raise lack of personal jurisdiction
as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding in connection with this Note or any related matter.
The Company shall not be obligated to bring any such action, suit or proceeding in such court.
78
THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUIT,
ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY ON THIS NOTE, ANY AND EVERY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO (I)
INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, (II) A TRIAL BY JURY, (III) INTERPOSE ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN, AND (IV) HAVE
THE SAME CONSOLIDATED WITH ANY OTHER OR SEPARATE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. THE UNDERSIGNED
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER IS INFORMED AND FREELY GIVEN.
The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that any payments received hereunder by the Company
from the undersigned, or on behalf of the undersigned, shall be applied first to late charges, fees
payable to the Company, costs and expenses of collection or enforcement of this Note and other
similar amounts due, if any, second to interest due and payable under this Note at the Default
Rate, if any, third to any other interest due and payable under this Note, and fourth to the unpaid
principal hereof, or in such other order as the Company may elect.
The undersigned agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Company in any
modification to this Note, enforcing and collecting the indebtedness evidenced by this Note
(whether or not litigation is commenced), or in realizing upon or protecting any collateral
securing same, including without limitation the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by
the Company.
The terms and provisions of this Note are severable, and if any term or provision shall be
determined to be superseded, illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable in whole or in part
pursuant to applicable law by a governmental authority having jurisdiction, such determination
shall not in any manner impair or otherwise affect the validity, legality or enforceability of that
term or provision in any other jurisdiction or any of the remaining terms and provisions of this
Note in any jurisdiction.
