6. OWNERSHIP AND USE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY; DEVELOPMENT OF COMBINATION PRODUCTS

6.1 Ownership. Subject to the terms hereof, including, without limitation, the License and other rights granted by ETHYPHARM to RELIANT hereunder, all existing and future Intellectual Property of the parties with respect to the Product shall be owned as follows:

(a) other than as provided below or elsewhere in this Agreement, all Intellectual Property owned by any party hereto on the date hereof shall continue to be owned by such party;

(b) any Intellectual Property developed, created or discovered solely by ETHYPHARM and subject to the license granted hereunder during the Term of this Agreement relating to the Product and its manufacturing shall be owned by ETHYPHARM; and

(c) any Intellectual Property developed, created or discovered by or on behalf of RELIANT during the Term of this Agreement relating to any of the clinical development and methods of use of the Product, in any formulation or dosage form, and any Intellectual Property that is otherwise developed by RELIANT shall be owned by RELIANT.

Each party agrees to execute and deliver to the party that owns or is entitled to own any Intellectual Property hereunder, such instruments of transfer and assignment as may be requested by the owner party to vest fully in such party the ownership rights in said Intellectual Property; provided, however, that each party hereto shall be entitled, during the Term of this Agreement, to use and practice any and all Intellectual Property owned by the other party of the types

27

described in foregoing clauses (a), (b) and (c), without additional payment or royalty, for purposes not inconsistent with this Agreement and in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. In any event, RELIANT may not use ETHYPHARM’s Intellectual Property to apply for a patent outside the Territory. Each party shall be free to use and practice its own Intellectual Property in any application not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement without the consent of the other and without an obligation to notify the other party of such intended use or to pay royalties or other compensation to the other by reason of such use during the Term of this Agreement and thereafter.

6.2 Patents. Each party shall be responsible, at its own expense, for filing and prosecuting such patent applications, as it deems appropriate, and for paying maintenance fees on any patents issuing therefrom, for the term of this Agreement, with respect to inventions owned by it that relate to or are used in connection with the manufacture, packaging, sale or use of the Product and which are necessary for, used in connection with or otherwise related to the performance of this Agreement by either party hereto. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, ETHYPHARM, at its sole cost and expense, shall continue to prosecute and maintain each of the Patents and shall keep RELIANT advised of all actions relative to the same. If ETHYPHARM fails to carry out the obligations set forth in this Section 6.2 with respect to the Patents, RELIANT may carry out such obligations on ETHYPHARM’s behalf at ETHYPHARM’s cost and may set off such cost against any amounts due to ETHYPHARM hereunder thereafter. Each party shall promptly render all necessary assistance reasonably requested by the

28

other party in applying for and prosecuting patent applications based on Intellectual Property owned by such other party under this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, patents covering joint inventions, if any, shall be owned by the parties jointly, and the parties shall share equally in the expenses of filing for and maintaining such patents and any royalties attributable thereto. ETHYPHARM’s obligations in respect of patents pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall apply only to those patents used in the manufacture of the Product or otherwise related to the Product or necessary for the full and timely performance of ETHYPHARM’s obligations under this Agreement.

6.3 Notice of Infringement. If either party shall learn of (a) any claim or assertion that the manufacture, use or sale of the Product under, or any use of Intellectual Property contemplated by, this Agreement, or any other action taken by either party in performance of its obligations hereunder infringes, misappropriates or otherwise violates the Intellectual Property rights of any third party, or (b) the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or other violation by any third party of the Intellectual Property rights of any party hereto that are the subject of this Agreement, then the party becoming so informed shall as soon as reasonably practicable, but in all events within fifteen (15) Business Days thereof, notify the other party to this Agreement of such claim or assertion, or actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or other violation.

6.4 ETHYPHARM Indemnified Claims. In the event that any third party brings or threatens to bring a claim against either party hereto and/or any of its Affiliates that alleges or demonstrates infringement of such third party’s Intellectual

29

Property rights arising out of, resulting from or otherwise related to (i) the Product, including the formulation, the manufacture of the Product or the micronization of the API and the non-active ingredients contained therein, or (ii) any ETHYPHARM Intellectual Property used by RELIANT, its Affiliates, sublicensees or agents as contemplated by this Agreement (such claims, together, “ETHYPHARM Indemnified Claims”), ETHYPHARM shall defend such action at its own cost and expense, and shall, at its own cost and expense, indemnify and hold harmless RELIANT and RELIANT’s Affiliates, officers, managers, employees, trustees, representatives, consultants, sublicensees and agents (the “RELIANT Infringement Indemnitees”) as set forth in Section 6.7 below. With respect to the manufacture (but not the micronization) of the API, in the event that (a) any third party brings or threatens to bring a claim against either party hereto and/or any of its Affiliates that alleges or demonstrates infringement of such third party’s Intellectual Property rights arising out of, resulting from or otherwise related to the manufacture of the API, and (b) ETHYPHARM’s supplier of the API fails to defend, indemnify and hold harmless ETHYPHARM from such claim, both parties shall cooperate in the defense of such action and equally bear the cost and expenses thereof (it being agreed, in any event, that any indemnification or other rights or amounts received by ETHYPHARM from such supplier in respect of or as result of such claim shall be applied to the defense of such claim hereunder).

6.5 RELIANT Indemnified Claims. In the event that any third party brings or threatens to bring a claim against either party hereto and/or any of its Affiliates

30

that alleges or demonstrates infringement of such third party’s Intellectual Property rights arising out of, resulting from or otherwise related to any RELIANT Intellectual Property used by RELIANT, its Affiliates, sublicensees or agents as contemplated by this Agreement (such claims, together, “RELIANT Indemnified Claims”), RELIANT shall defend such action at its own cost and expense, and shall, at its own cost and expense, indemnify and hold harmless ETHYPHARM, its Affiliates, officers, managers, employees, representatives, consultants and agents (the “ETHYPHARM Infringement Indemnitees”) as set forth in Section 6.8 below.

6.6 Infringement Indemnification by ETHYPHARM. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, ETHYPHARM will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the RELIANT Infringement Indemnitees from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, actions, claims and expenses suffered or incurred by RELIANT Infringement Indemnitees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and expert witnesses’ fees) resulting from any ETHYPHARM Indemnified Claims so long as any such claim does not arise from RELIANT’s breach of this Agreement, or arise from RELIANT’s negligent or intentionally wrongful conduct (it being expressly understood that RELIANT’s reasonable exercise of its rights hereunder with respect to the use of any ETHYPHARM Intellectual Property in accordance with this Agreement and RELIANT’s reasonable exercise of its rights hereunder in accordance with this Agreement shall not be deemed a RELIANT’s negligent or intentional wrongful conduct as pertaining to violation of another party’s Intellectual Property rights).

31

6.7 Infringement Indemnification by RELIANT. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, RELIANT will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the ETHYPHARM Infringement Indemnitees from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, actions, claims and expenses suffered or incurred by ETHYPHARM Infringement Indemnitees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and expert witnesses’ fees) resulting from any RELIANT Indemnified Claims so long as any such claim does not arise from ETHYPHARM’s breach of this Agreement, or arise from ETHYPHARM’s negligent or intentionally wrongful conduct (it being expressly understood that ETHYPHARM’s reasonable exercise of its rights hereunder with respect to the use of any RELIANT Intellectual Property in accordance with this Agreement shall not be deemed ETHYPHARM’s negligent or intentional wrongful conduct as pertaining to violation of another party’s Intellectual Property rights).

6.8 Third Party Infringement. In the event either party believes that a third party is infringing or otherwise violating any party’s Intellectual Property rights with respect to or related to the Product in the Territory (a “Third Party Infringement”), ETHYPHARM and RELIANT shall consult with each other and their respective counsel in order to develop a strategy for addressing the Third Party Infringement. In the event the parties agree to take legal action to stop the Third Party Infringement, they shall agree upon legal counsel to prosecute such action. Unless the parties agree upon a different formula for sharing the expenses (including attorney and expert fees) of such action and for sharing any award or settlement, the owner of such Intellectual Property shall bear the costs of such

32

action and shall be entitled to any award or settlement in respect thereof. In the event that one of the parties does not desire or is otherwise unwilling to participate in the action (the “Nonparticipating Party”), the other shall be free to bring the action in its own name, at its own expense and retain any award or settlement in its entirety; provided, however, that if such third party infringement adversely affects either party’s rights or obligations hereunder, then the costs of such action shall be borne by the owner of such Intellectual Property, regardless of which party brings or prosecutes such action. If necessary, the Nonparticipating Party shall join as a party to the suit but shall be under no obligation to participate except to the extent that such participation is required as the result of being a named party to the suit. The Nonparticipating Party shall offer reasonable assistance in connection therewith at no charge to the other party except for reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses including reasonable attorney’s fees. If either party desires to retain counsel independently, the party may do so, but it shall not relieve the party of its obligations under this Section 6.9.

6.9 Termination Resulting From Infringement. In the event that Intellectual Property belonging to any party and necessary for, used in connection with or otherwise related to the performance of this Agreement by any party hereto is determined to violate or infringe upon any Intellectual Property rights of any third party, and the owner of said Intellectual Property is unable to obtain for itself and the benefit of the other party and its sublicensees, if any, at no additional cost to said other party and/or any of its sublicensees, a license to use the Intellectual Property upon

33

which the claims for infringement or violation is based, then said other party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity.

6.10 [***]. RELIANT shall have the right, but not the obligation, to develop and commercialize [***]; provided, however, that RELIANT shall have no right to use any of ETHYPHARM’s Intellectual Property in connection therewith unless such development is made in cooperation with ETHYPHARM. ETHYPHARM agrees that, in the event RELIANT desires to develop one or more [***] with ETHYPHARM, RELIANT shall have access to ETHYPHARM’s Intellectual Property and applicable personnel for the purposes of developing such [***] and shall grant to RELIANT such additional licenses or other rights as may be necessary or desirable, if any, for RELIANT to develop and commercialize [***] on reasonable terms to be negotiated in good faith by the parties. The parties agree that specific terms and conditions relating to the development, license, manufacture, marketing and sale of any Combination Product developed jointly by RELIANT and ETHYPHARM shall be set forth in a separate agreement to be negotiated and executed by the parties hereto.

Applicable Laws and Applicable Permits; (b) be consistent with the DMF and CMC, and produced in a facility and in a manner compliant with cGMP and all other Applicable Laws; (c) not be adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of the Act; (d) be manufactured under cGMP conditions at ETHYPHARM’s facility in Chateauneuf-en-Thymerais, France, or, upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to RELIANT, at the Additional Manufacturing Facility, which facility shall at all times during such manufacture be an FDA-approved manufacturing facility and shall manufacture, package, label, store and handle the Product in accordance with all Applicable Laws and Applicable Permits; and (e) be in such formulation and dosage form (e.g., Bulk Product Form or Finished Dosage Form) as requested by RELIANT. All shipments of the Product to be delivered to RELIANT under this Agreement, regardless of the formulation or dosage form thereof, shall be sampled and analyzed by or on behalf of ETHYPHARM to confirm that it meets the Specifications. ETHYPHARM shall deliver or cause to be delivered to RELIANT with each shipment of the Product a certificate of analysis stating that the Product in the formulations and dosage forms provided meets the applicable Specifications. ETHYPHARM agrees that neither it nor any third party manufacturer of the Product shall make any changes in the formulation, manufacture, production, packaging, storage and/or shipment of the Product without the specific written prior approval of RELIANT unless expressly required by Applicable Law (including, without limitation, cGMP or the Act), in which case ETHYPHARM shall notify RELIANT in writing immediately of such change and the reason therefor. The responsibility for the final release of

35

the Product delivered by ETHYPHARM to RELIANT for sale or distribution in the Territory shall remain with RELIANT.

7.2 Encapsulation by RELIANT. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, RELIANT shall not have any obligation to purchase the Product in Finished Dosage Form. RELIANT shall have the option to purchase Product in Bulk Product Form so that RELIANT may encapsulate and package the Product, either directly at its own facilitates or using the services of one or more third-parties. In the event that RELIANT elects not to have ETHYPHARM encapsulate and package the Product, ETHYPHARM agrees to provide to RELIANT, at cost, such assistance as may reasonably be requested by RELIANT to facilitate the transfer of the relevant Confidential Information and Intellectual Property of ETHYPHARM to RELIANT or such third party for the purposes of RELIANT’s or such third party’s encapsulation and packaging of the Product, which assistance shall be provided for a limited period of time to be reasonably agreed upon between the parties. In the event that RELIANT elects to have a third party encapsulate and package the Product using ETHYPHARM Confidential Information and Intellectual Property, RELIANT agrees that it shall obtain an agreement from such third party to keep such Confidential Information and Intellectual Property confidential in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

7.3 Purchase and Sale; Acceptance. Subject to the terms hereof, during the Term of this Agreement, ETHYPHARM shall sell and deliver to RELIANT, and RELIANT shall purchase and accept, the Product pursuant to orders submitted by

36

RELIANT to ETHYPHARM in accordance with provisions hereof. All deliveries of Product shall be deemed accepted by RELIANT unless RELIANT shall deliver an Exception Notice to ETHYPHARM in accordance with Section 7.6 hereof.

7.4 Delivery Forecast; Reserve Stock of Product. Commencing on the Approval Date, RELIANT shall deliver to ETHYPHARM, and update at least once per calendar quarter, a twelve (12) month rolling forecast (the “Delivery Forecast”), which shall specify RELIANT’s estimated order requirements of Product, based on manufacturing batch sizes and multiples thereof, desired formulations and dosage forms (e.g., Bulk Product Form or Finished Dosage Form), and required delivery dates and destinations for the Product. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the first ninety (90) days of the Delivery Forecast shall be binding upon the parties. RELIANT’s actual orders for Product shall be equal to amounts set forth in the applicable Delivery Forecast for the relevant period, plus or minus twenty percent (20%). ETHYPHARM shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, a sufficient reserve stock of Product, in such forms as specified by RELIANT, equal to twenty percent (20%) of most recent Delivery Forecast at no additional cost to RELIANT. As requested by RELIANT, part or all of the reserve stock shall be delivered within thirty (30) days after order to RELIANT’s dock in New Jersey, USA.

7.5 Shipment Costs; Title and Risk of Loss. All Product to be delivered to RELIANT under this Agreement shall be shipped by ETHYPHARM to RELIANT fully insured against risk of loss, theft, seizure and destruction at ETHYPHARM’s cost. Title and risk of loss with respect to the all shipments of Product shall pass from

37

ETHYPHARM to RELIANT upon acceptance by RELIANT at RELIANT’s dock (currently located in Somerset, New Jersey, USA). In the event of delivery at another location(s) within the Territory as may be specified by RELIANT or RELIANT’s sublicensee(s), the delivery prices agreed upon between the parties shall be reconsidered in order to take into account the possible increase due to such new location or insurance and transportation costs.

7.6 RELIANT Right of Review; Exception Notice. RELIANT may conduct its own analyses on each shipment of the Product, in whatever form, delivered by or on behalf of ETHYPHARM pursuant to this Agreement. RELIANT shall notify ETHYPHARM in writing within sixty (60) days after its receipt of any shipment of Product if the same does not comply with RELIANT’s order, does not meet the Specifications, is adulterated or misbranded, or is otherwise reasonably determined by RELIANT not to comply with any Applicable Laws or Applicable Permits (each such notice, an “Exception Notice”). Any dispute arising between ETHYPHARM and RELIANT concerning the conformity of any shipment of Product which cannot be settled between the two parties within thirty (30) days following RELIANT’s delivery of such notice, shall be submitted to an independent expert jointly agreed to by the parties in good faith. The decision of said expert shall be binding on ETHYPHARM and RELIANT. The charges, including the fees and expenses of the expert relating to any dispute described in this Section 7.6 shall be paid by ETHYPHARM if the expert declares the delivery not to be in conformity with the provisions hereof or by RELIANT if the expert declares the delivery to be in conformity.

38

7.7 Notice of Third Party Audit. ETHYPHARM shall give RELIANT telephonic notice (with written confirmation) of any pending or threatened audit related to the Product (including, without limitation, the manufacture, production, sale, distribution, import/export or testing of the Product, in whatever form) by any Governmental Authority or other authorized Person, regardless of whether such audit is of ETHYPHARM or any Person (other than RELIANT) with which ETHYPHARM has an agreement related to the Product or any ingredient thereof or process used in connection with the manufacture thereof, including, without limitation, any suppliers of raw materials used in the manufacture of the Product or any third party engaged by ETHYPHARM to manufacture the Product, in each case which audit affects or could reasonably be expected to affect the performance of ETHYPHARM’s obligations under this Agreement or otherwise affect RELIANT’s sale or distribution of the Product (each, an “Audit”); provided, however, that ETHYPHARM shall not be required to give such notice to RELIANT of an Audit by any Person that is conducted in the ordinary course pursuant to an agreement between ETHYPHARM and such Person and not in response to any suspected violation or non-compliance. ETHYPHARM shall provide any notice to RELIANT required under this Section 7.7 as soon as practicable, but in any event within five (5) Business Days, following the date ETHYPHARM first becomes aware of such Audit, and shall provide RELIANT with any documentation or other information provided or available to it relating to any such Audit, and shall provide RELIANT reasonable opportunity to review and comment, prior to submission, any response to such Audit. ETHYPHARM

39

shall keep RELIANT fully apprised of the progress and results of any Audit and shall immediately provide RELIANT with the results of such Audit following its conclusion.

7.8 Notice of Regulatory Action. ETHYPHARM shall provide RELIANT with notification of its receipt (or the receipt by any Person with which ETHYPHARM has an agreement related to the Product, including, without limitation, suppliers of raw materials and contract manufacturers) of any warning, enforcement, penalty, default, non-compliance, notices of violation or any similar letters, notices, investigations, requests for information or orders from or of any Governmental Authority or other authorized Person that relate to the Product, including, without limitation, any list of observations (Form FD 483), Warning Letter, Information Letter, Establishment Inspection Report, Notice of Violation, Regulatory Letter or the like issued by the FDA. ETHYPHARM shall provide any notice to RELIANT required under this Section 7.8 as soon as practicable, but in any event within twenty-four (24) hours, following the date ETHYPHARM first receives or becomes aware of any such regulatory action, and shall provide RELIANT with any documentation or other information provided or available to it relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, ETHYPHARM maintains sole responsibility for any matter pertaining to such regulatory actions. Reliant shall have the right to review and comment on any responses of ETHYPHARM to any such regulatory action.

7.9 Recall or Withdrawal. ETHYPHARM and RELIANT will each maintain or cause to be maintained such traceability records as are necessary to permit a recall,

40

withdrawal or field correction of the Product (each, a “Recall”). Each party will give telephonic notice (to be confirmed in writing) to the other within twenty-four (24) hours of the receipt of any information which indicates a Recall may be necessary. The decision to conduct and the right to control a Recall will be solely that of the then current NDA owner, after appropriate consultation with the other party. Each party will cooperate fully with the other in connection with any Recall efforts. If any Recall is due to any act or omission of ETHYPHARM, ETHYPHARM will bear the cost of the Recall and replace recalled Product with conforming Product at no additional charge hereunder and will reimburse RELIANT for all of RELIANT’s reasonable direct costs and expenses actually incurred by RELIANT in connection with the Recall including, but not limited to, direct costs of retrieving Product already delivered to customers and direct costs and expenses RELIANT is required to pay for notification, shipping and handling charges; provided, however, that for each such Recall (a) RELIANT will in good faith consult with ETHYPHARM and, to the extent commercially reasonable, implement ETHYPHARM’s recommendations on how best to conduct the Recall including, without limitation, the notification and retrieval of Product, and (b) prior to any reimbursement hereunder, RELIANT will provide ETHYPHARM with detailed supporting documentation of all costs and expenses for which reimbursement is being sought. If a Recall of Product distributed is due to any act or omission of RELIANT, RELIANT will remain responsible for the costs of such Recall and will reimburse ETHYPHARM for all of the reasonable direct costs and expenses described above actually incurred by ETHYPHARM (if any)

41

in connection with such Recall including, but not limited to, administration of the recall and such other reasonable direct costs as may be reasonably related to the Recall. RELIANT shall not release any Product in the Territory that has not been duly controlled by RELIANT.

7.10 RELIANT Audit Right Regarding Manufacturing Facilities. Upon prior notice to ETHYPHARM and upon a minimum of one (1) month prior notice of the anticipated audit date, ETHYPHARM will permit (and will cause any owner and operator of any Additional Manufacturing Facility to permit) RELIANT to conduct an inspection and audit, of ETHYPHARM’s or such third party’s manufacturing facilities and operations used in the manufacturing, receiving, sampling, analyzing, storing, handling, packaging and shipping of Product, including, but not limited to, the receipt, storage and issuance of raw materials, labeling and packaging components and ingredients thereof (including, without limitation, all documentation related thereto) for the purpose of quality control and to assure compliance with cGMP, Applicable Laws, Applicable Permits and the terms of this Agreement. RELIANT may not conduct an audit hereunder more frequently than once during any six (6) month period prior to the Approval Date, or more frequently than once during any twelve (12) month period following the Approval Date; provided, however, that RELIANT may conduct an additional audit(s) in the event there is a quality or compliance issue concerning the Product or its manufacture that RELIANT deems in good faith to be material hereunder. RELIANT may conduct such audit using its own personnel or a third party auditor/inspector and shall conduct such audit, or cause such audit to be

42

conducted, during regular business hours and in such a manner so as to minimize interference with ETHYPHARM’s or any third party’s operations. ETHYPHARM will provide, and shall cause any applicable third party to provide, RELIANT with access to relevant personnel during the audit and ETHYPHARM will provide a written response to any written audit observations provided by RELIANT within thirty (30) days of ETHYPHARM’s receipt thereof.

7.11 Records and Accounting by ETHYPHARM. ETHYPHARM will, with respect to each lot of Product produced and manufactured by or on behalf of ETHYPHARM hereunder, for the longer of (a) any period required under Applicable Law or Applicable Permit, and (ii) a period of two (2) years after expiry of the expiration dating of such lot, maintain accurate records of the manufacture and testing of such lot of the Product, including, without limitation, all such records which are required by Applicable Law or pursuant hereto. Access to such records will be made available by ETHYPHARM to RELIANT during normal business hours upon RELIANT’s reasonable written request.

58

Agreement. For purposes of this Section 14.1, a transfer to an unaffiliated third party, by either RELIANT or ETHYPHARM, of all or substantially all of its assets or a controlling interest in its stock or other equity interests, shall be deemed an assignment; provided that, any of the following shall not be deemed an assignment and shall be permitted without consent from ETHYPHARM or RELIANT, as applicable, thereto: (1) any conversion of RELIANT from a limited liability company to a corporation; (2) any issuance by RELIANT or ETHYPHARM of securities in connection with any financing transaction or public offering, (3) any acquisition or merger involving RELIANT or ETHYPHARM if the acquiring or surviving company is a reputable company engaged in the pharmaceutical business with a history of substantial regulatory compliance, and/or (4) any merger or acquisition to which the other party hereto has given its prior written consent.

Each party will be entitled to disclose any such Confidential Information to such of its professional advisers, directors,

59

managers, officers and employees who are directly concerned with this Agreement and its implementation and whose knowledge of such information in the opinion of the disclosing party is necessary for these purposes. Each party will use its reasonable efforts to ensure that each individual to whom such a disclosure is made adheres to the terms of this undertaking as if he or she were a party hereto. Each party may disclose such Confidential Information to the extent such disclosure is required by law; provided, however, that the disclosing party shall (to the extent permitted) give the other party prior notice of such required disclosure and cooperate with such other party in order that such other party may seek a protective order or relief to prevent or limit the Confidential Information required to be disclosed; provided, further, that the disclosing party shall only disclose that portion of the Confidential Information that such party is advised by its legal counsel is required to be disclosed by law and shall seek assurances that such Confidential Information will be maintained in confidentiality by the receiving party.

Said notice will be provided within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of such event and will identify the requirements of this Agreement or such of its obligations as may be affected, and to the extent so affected, said obligations will be suspended during the period of such disability. If any raw materials, facility systems or capacity is used for both the manufacture and packaging of the Product in satisfaction of ETHYPHARM’s obligations hereunder and any other product or purposes, any necessary allocation will be made as between ETHYPHARM’s needs, RELIANT’s needs and the needs of any other party with whom ETHYPHARM has firm contractual obligations on a basis no less favorable than pro rata on a volume basis. The party prevented from performing hereunder will use its commercially reasonable efforts to remove such disability and will continue performance whenever such causes are removed. The party so affected will give to the other party a good faith estimate of the continuing effect of the force majeure condition and the duration of the affected party’s nonperformance. If the period of any previous actual nonperformance of ETHYPHARM because of ETHYPHARM force majeure conditions plus the anticipated future period of

61

ETHYPHARM nonperformance because of such conditions will exceed an aggregate of ninety (90) days within any six (6) month period, RELIANT may terminate this Agreement immediately by written notice to ETHYPHARM.
