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”). | ||
