quantities of Active Drug Substance which meets the specifications established
in Schedule A. Following such delivery, CIRCA shall assume full responsibility
for the safekeeping and safe handling, and shall bear all risk of loss, of all
such Active Drug Substance that is in its possession. Legal title to all Active
Drug Substance will remain with CEPHALON, provided however, that CIRCA shall

lost, contaminated, or destroyed while in the possession of CIRCA. CIRCA will
use its best efforts to obtain maximum yield of Product from the Active Drug
Substance provided by CEPHALON in connection with the formulation and packaging
services provided hereunder. The parties anticipate that the combined yield loss
suffered in the course of formulating and packaging the Product in any given lot
shall not exceed

five percent (5%). Notwithstanding the above, if the yield loss over any given
twelve month period during the term hereof exceeds five percent (5%), then CIRCA
will reimburse CEPHALON for its costs for that amount of Active Drug Substance
lost that exceeds the aforementioned five percent (5%) maximum threshold.
Notwithstanding the above, the parties agree to calculate the actual yield loss
after production by CIRCA of the first ten (10) batches of Product, and to
negotiate in good faith to adjust the aforementioned yield loss threshold if the
actual yield loss proves to be substantially more than or less than five percent
(5%).
6.2 Starting Material. CIRCA will obtain at its expense Starting Material
-----------------
which meets the specifications established in Scheduled A. CIRCA assumes full
responsibility and liability for the storage and handling of all Starting
Material.

Date, and with rolling, updated volume forecasts on a quarterly basis
thereafter. Forecasts provided by CEPHALON to CIRCA hereunder are for planning
purposes only. CEPHALON can increase or decrease its firm order quantities with
CIRCA's prior agreement and CIRCA can adjust its shipping quantities with
CEPHALON'S prior agreeement. Both parties shall accommodate reasonable change
requests from the other.

from the destination of the original shipment, or (ii) be relieved of any
obligation to pay CIRCA the toll fees otherwise payable for the manufacture of

CEPHALON in properly disposing of the Product. In any event, CIRCA shall not be
liable for reimbursing CEPHALON its cost of Active Drug Substance used in
formulating such non-conforming Product, provided however, that nothing herein
shall be construed to limit CIRCA's obligations established in Section 6.1
hereof.
9.4 Independent Testing. If CEPHALON notifies CIRCA that any Product does
-------------------
not meet applicable Specifications or quality assurance guidelines, and CIRCA
does not agree with CEPHALON'S position, the parties will attempt to reach a
mutually acceptable resolution of the dispute. If they are unable to do so after
a reasonable period of time (such period not to exceed three months from the
date of original notification), the matter will be submitted to an
-7-
independent testing laboratory acceptable to both parties. Both parties will
accept the judgement of the independent laboratory. The cost of such testing
will be borne by the party whose position is determined to have been in error.
If the Product is determined by said independent laboratory to have been
conforming, then the provisions of Section 9.3 hereof shall not apply, and
CEPHALON shall not be relieved of its obligations to pay CIRCA for the
production of such Product.
