3. PRICE AND PAYMENT
3.1 Purchase Price.
3.1.1 Supply Price. For each Unit of Product supplied to GSK
hereunder, GSK shall pay ALLERGAN a price per Unit of Product equal to
ALLERGAN's Standard Cost per Unit in the Calendar Year in which the delivery
date specified by GSK occurs, as such Standard Cost is determined in accordance
with this Supply Agreement, plus *** (the "PRICE"). The Standard Cost as of the
Effective Date is *** per Unit, and the Price to be paid by GSK per Unit as of
the Effective Date is therefore ***. ALLERGAN may, though it shall not be
obliged to, use the assistance and expertise of GSK to identify and target
potential areas of reduction to its Standard Cost.
3.1.2 Amendments to Supply Price. ALLERGAN shall recalculate the
Standard Cost once during the fourth quarter of each calendar year (either
upward or downwards as the case may be) (the "RECALCULATED STANDARD COST") to

determination. Subject to the reconciliation process set out in Section 3.1.4
below, the Price paid by GSK from 1 January in each succeeding year during the
Term shall be the Recalculated Standard Cost for that year plus ***.
3.1.3 Maximum Increase. For the purposes of the reconciliation process
set out in Section 3.1.4 below, (A) the maximum allowable increase to the

asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended.

for calendar years from and after *** shall be *** (the "ALLOWABLE STANDARD
COST"). When calculating the Allowable Standard Cost for each Calendar Year
after the first Calendar Year, the 'Standard Cost' referred to in this Section
3.1.3 shall be the lower of Recalculated Standard Cost or the Allowable Standard
Cost for the immediately preceding Calendar Year.
3.1.4 Reconciliation Process. In circumstances where the Recalculated
Standard Cost exceeds the Allowable Standard Cost, ALLERGAN will give a credit
to GSK to be used against the royalty payable under the License Agreement in an
amount equal to the difference between (A) the Recalculated Standard Cost plus
*** and (B) the Allowable Standard Costs plus ***, multiplied by the number of
Units purchased by GSK during the given year. A working example of this
reconciliation process is set forth in Exhibit G.
3.2 Invoices. ALLERGAN shall invoice GSK or GSK's nominated Affiliate for
all Product purchased by GSK upon shipment in accordance with the delivery terms

bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to ALLERGAN in accordance with
the wire instructions set forth in Exhibit E, which may be changed only by

10.7 (Notices).
3.5 Late Payments. Subject to the other terms of this Supply Agreement,
payments not made to ALLERGAN within the time period set forth in this Article 3
shall bear interest at an annual rate equal to *** per month. The payment of
such interest shall not limit ALLERGAN from exercising any other rights it may
have under this Supply Agreement as a consequence of the lateness of any
payment.
3.6 Financial Audit Rights. ALLERGAN shall permit its independent
registered public accounting firm, who as of the Effective Date is Ernst & Young

have been higher than ALLERGAN's internal standard cost ,
disclosure of the actual standard cost.
If such examination results in a determination that the Standard Cost or
Recalculated Standard Cost has been overstated, amounts overpaid by GSK shall be
refunded by ALLERGAN promptly. The fees and expenses of ALLERGAN's company
appointed auditors for conducting the services set out in this Section 3.6 shall
be paid by GSK unless the examination results in a determination that Standard
Cost or Recalculated Standard Cost have been overstated, or that amounts have
been overpaid by GSK, by more than *** for the period examined, in which case
ALLERGAN shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of such auditor.

9.4 Remedies. The receiving party agrees that its obligations hereunder are
necessary and reasonable to protect the disclosing party's business interests
and that the unauthorized disclosure or use of the disclosing party's
Confidential Information would cause irreparable harm and significant injury,
the degree of which may be difficult to ascertain. The receiving party further
acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened breach of
this Supply Agreement, the disclosing party may have no adequate remedy at law
and accordingly, that the disclosing party will have the right to seek an
immediate injunction enjoining any breach or threatened breach of this Supply
Agreement, as well as the right to pursue any and all other rights and remedies
available at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach.
9.5 Return of Confidential Information. Upon the request of the disclosing
party, the receiving party will promptly return to the disclosing party or, upon
the disclosing party's written approval, destroy all material embodying

expressly provided otherwise in Section 9.3 (Disclosure Required by Law),
neither GSK nor ALLERGAN shall release to any Third Party or publish in any way

concerning their cooperation without the prior written consent of the other
party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, ALLERGAN will issue a press release, public
statement or disclosure regarding this

asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended.
21
Supply Agreement. Such press release, public statement or disclosure will be
mutually agreed upon by the parties. Nothing in the foregoing, however, shall
prohibit a party from making disclosures to the extent deemed necessary under
applicable federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation of any
nationally recognized securities exchange. In such event, however, the
disclosing party shall use good faith efforts to consult with the non-disclosing
party prior to such disclosure and shall request confidential treatment to the
extent available. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the other party shall
have the right to submit manuscripts relating to the Product for scientific
publications, A copy of any scientific abstract or manuscript of results from
any clinical trial that is submitted for publication will be provided by to the
other party within thirty (30) days after such submission. ALLERGAN acknowledges
and agrees that GSK may publish the results of clinical trials conducted by GSK
with the Product after the Effective Date on GSK's Clinical Trial Register and
that such publication will not be a breach of the confidentiality obligations
provided in Section 9.2. ALLERGAN agrees to cooperate with GSK in such effort as
further determined in accordance with the License Agreement, including using
commercially reasonable efforts to provide GSK with the protocols, results, data
and other information relating to all clinical trials conducted by GSK with the
Product in ALLERGAN's possession that GSK reasonably requires to be published on
GSK's Clinical Trial Register.
9.7 Allergan Data Protections. GSK agrees and understands that Confidential
Information of ALLERGAN, including but not limited to data, disclosed to GSK is
very sensitive and ALLERGAN would not enter into this Supply Agreement without
additional assurances from GSK with respect to GSK's use of such Confidential
Information or possible disclosure of such Confidential Information to
ALLERGAN's competitors. Accordingly GSK will not use any such Confidential
Information in connection with any botulinum toxin research and/or development
other than as provided under this Supply Agreement.
9.8 Termination. All obligations of confidentiality and non-use imposed
under this Article 9 will expire *** after the date of expiration or termination
of this Supply Agreement, except that Article 9 obligations of confidentiality
and non-use will continue thereafter with respect to manufacturing and
regulatory information, including without limitation filings with Regulatory
Authorities.
10. GENERAL PROVISIONS
10.1 Integration/Modification. This Supply Agreement, together with the
License Agreement, is both a final expression of the parties' agreement and a
complete and exclusive statement with respect to all of its terms. The Exhibits
referred to in this Supply Agreement are incorporated herein and made a part of
this Supply Agreement by this reference. This Supply Agreement supersedes all
prior and contemporaneous agreements and communications, whether oral, written
or otherwise, concerning any and all matters contained herein; provided,
however, that the confidentiality provisions of Article 9 are in addition to and
do not supersede the terms and conditions of the Confidential Disclosure
Agreement between Allergan Inc, an Affiliate of ALLERGAN, and GlaxoSmithKline
Research & Development Limited, an Affiliate of GSK, dated October 6, 2004, and
any amendments thereto. No rights or licenses are granted or deemed granted
hereunder or in connection herewith other than those rights or licenses
expressly granted in this Supply Agreement or in the License Agreement. No trade
customs, courses of dealing or courses of performance by the parties shall be
relevant to modify, supplement or explain any

22
term(s) used in this Supply Agreement. This Supply Agreement may not be modified
or supplemented by any purchase order (except as set forth herein), change
order, acknowledgment, order acceptance, standard terms of sale, invoice or the
like. This Supply Agreement may only be modified or supplemented in a writing
expressly stated for such purpose and signed by the parties to this Supply
Agreement.
10.2 Relationship Between the Parties. The parties have no ownership
interest in the other and their relationship, as established by this Supply
Agreement, is solely that of independent contractors. This Supply Agreement does
not create any partnership, joint venture or similar business relationship
between the parties. No party is a legal representative of any other party, and
no party can assume or create any obligation, representation, warranty or
guarantee, express or implied, on behalf of any other party for any purpose
whatsoever.
10.3. Non-Waiver. The failure of a party to exercise, enforce or insist
upon strict performance of any provision of this Supply Agreement, or any right
arising out of this Supply Agreement, shall neither impair that provision or
right nor constitute a waiver of that provision or right, in whole or in part,
and will not be construed to be a waiver of such right or provision, or a waiver
by a party to thereafter enforce such right or provision or any other right or
provision hereunder. No waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and
signed by the waiving party.
10.4 Assignment. This Supply Agreement is binding upon and inures to the
benefit of the parties to it, and to their permitted successors and assigns. No
party may assign or delegate any or all of its rights or obligations under this
Supply Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party except to
an Affiliate. Any assignment or delegation, or any other transfer or change of
control by sale, acquisition, merger, or otherwise, or attempt at the same,
other than to an Affiliate, made in the absence of such prior written consent
shall be void and without effect; provided, however, that in the event of the
foregoing, such written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If a party
assigns this Supply Agreement to an Affiliate, such party will also promptly
inform the other party and guarantee the performance by its Affiliate of all of
such party's obligations under this Supply Agreement. Either party may, however,
with notice, but without consent and at its sole discretion, assign all of the
rights and obligations under this Supply Agreement (excluding however, with
regard to ALLERGAN, any of its rights under Section 6.4) to a Third Party in
connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of its
business, or in the event of its merger or consolidation or a change of control
or similar transaction.
10.5 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Supply Agreement is neither
expressly nor impliedly made for the benefit of any Person other than those
executing it.
10.6 Severability. If, for any reason, any portion of this Supply Agreement
is adjudicated invalid, unenforceable or illegal by a court of competent
jurisdiction, such adjudication shall not affect or impair, in whole or in part,
the validity, enforceability or legality of any remaining portions of this
Supply Agreement. All remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect
as if the original Supply Agreement had been executed without the invalidated,
unenforceable or illegal portion.
