The provisions of Section 5.3(b) hereof notwithstanding, to the extent the aggregate Gross Profit generated by XXXX with respect to the Products during any calendar year exceeds XXXXX dollars ($XXXXX), IMPAX’s share of the amount of Gross Profits generated during such calendar year in excess of XXXXX dollars ($XXXXX) shall be XXXXX percent (XXXXX%) (the “Excess Gross Profit Split”). XXXX shall remit any amount payable by operation of this Section 5.3(c) simulatenously with the Reconciliation Statement deliverable with respect to the fourth (4th) Reporting Period in the calendar year to which this Section applies, if any. XXXX will not knowingly engage in any practice which has as its primary purpose the shifting of sales from one period into another period so as to shift Gross Profits from one period to another period. | ||
(d) | Sales Amount/Adjustment. In determining Net Sales, the Parties shall agree upon a fixed percentage of the gross amount invoiced by XXXX to be deducted from such gross amount (the “Discount”) to reflect, with respect to sales to Third Parties, applicable (i) trade discounts, (ii) promotional allowances, (iii) cash discounts, (iv) customer refunds and credits, (v) returns, (vi) reprocurement charges, (vii) customer and government rebates (viii) chargebacks, (ix) retroactive price or shelf stock adjustments and price equalizations. The product of the gross amount invoiced multiplied by the Discount is referred to herein as the “Sales Amount.” During the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on March 31, 2006, the Discount shall be XXXXX percent (XXXXX%) with respect to sales to Wholesalers and XXXXX percent (XXXXX%) with respect to sales to customers other than Wholesalers. With repect to the Calendar Quarters beginning April 1, July 1, and October 1, 2006, no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement of each such Calendar Quarter, the Parties shall mutually agree, in writing, upon the Discounts to be applied with respect to Product sales during the immediately following Calendar Quarter. With repect to each calendar year commencing with the calendar year ending on December 31, 2007, no later than 30 days prior to the beginning of each such calendar year, the Parties shall mutually agree, in writing, upon the Discounts to be applied with respect to Product sales during such calendar year. | ||
If the Parties are unable to agree upon any such Discount within the periods set forth in this Section 5.3(d), any Party shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the other Party, to invoke the arbitration provisions set forth in Article XXXI, and the Discount then in effect shall remain in effect |

(e) | Records and Audit. (i) XXXX shall keep complete and accurate books and records setting forth Gross Profit, gross sales, Net Sales (including all deductions to determine Net Sales), Marketing Allowance, Label Conversion Fee, Shipping Expense, aggregate Acquisition Price, and any and all amounts due to IMPAX hereunder, which books and records shall be maintained in accordance with GAAP on an individual Product basis. XXXX shall permit IMPAX, at IMPAX’s expense, to engage an Accountant, reasonably acceptable to XXXX, to examine such books and records at any reasonable time, but not more than two (2) times per year and not later than three (3) years following the rendering of the reports, accountings and payments that are the subject of the examination. IMPAX shall use resonable efforts to cause the Accountant to execute a written agreement, reasonably satisfactory to XXXX, obligating such Accountant to maintain in confidence all information disclosed to such Accountant during the examination and all information generated by such Accountant pursuant to the examination. In the event such examination determines that XXXX has underpaid IMPAX for the period under review by more than five percent (5%), XXXX shall also reimburse IMPAX for the cost of such examination and pay to IMPAX interest on such underpayment at the rate of 12% per annum. The determination by the Accountant will be binding on the Parties. | ||
(ii) IMPAX shall keep complete and accurate books and records setting forth the cost of the active ingredient of the Product and the cost of the components comprising, and the methodology of calculating, the Acquisition Price. IMPAX shall permit XXXX, at DAVA’s expense, to engage an Accountant, reasonably acceptable to IMPAX, to examine such books and records at any reasonable time, but not more than one (1) time per year and not later than three (3) years following the rendering of the reports, accountings and payments that are the subject of the examination. XXXX shall use resonable efforts to cause the Accountant to execute a written agreement, reasonably satisfactory to IMPAX, obligating such Accountant to maintain in confidence all information disclosed to such Accountant during the examination and all information generated by such Accountant pursuant to the examination. In the event such examination determines that XXXX has overpaid IMPAX for the period under review by more than five percent (5%), IMPAX shall also reimburse XXXX for the cost of such examination and pay to XXXX interest on such underpayment at the rate of 12% per annum. The determination by the Accountant will be binding on the Parties. |

VI. PRODUCT TESTING/INSPECTION
6.1 | IMPAX shall perform quality assurance testing with respect to the Products sold hereunder, including stability testing, so that the Products conform with the Specifications as of the date of the Availability Notice. Upon each delivery of Product to XXXX, IMPAX shall provide to XXXX a certificate for the Product describing the Product, product number, lot number and expiration date and certifying that the Product meets the Specifications in the form of a Certificate of Analysis (hereinafter “COA”). IMPAX will also provide XXXX with Material Safety Data Sheets (hereinafter “MSDS”) as required by Law for the Products, and updates of same as necessary. XXXX will permit IMPAX’s personnel, upon reasonable notice, to visit at reasonable intervals, and for reasonable durations during regular business hours, any XXXX facility used for the storage and distribution of the Products and will allow such personnel to review and make copies of any relevant records in connection therewith. | ||
6.2 | XXXX shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the later of (a) the date of shipment of the Products in accordance with Sections 4.3 and 4.4 hereof, or (b) the date of DAVA’s receipt of the COA’s applicable to such Product, to inspect any shipment of a Product to determine whether such shipment conforms to the Specifications. If XXXX determines that a Product does not conform to the Specifications, it shall notify IMPAX, immediately, if possible, but no later than five (5) Business Days after determining a Product does not conform to the Specifications. DAVA’s failure to notify IMPAX within the stipulated period will be deemed, for purposes of this Agreement, as DAVA’s acceptance of such shipment and shall constitute a waiver of any claims XXXX may have against IMPAX under this Article VI with respect to such shipment including, without limitation, the right to return any such shipment. XXXX shall have no right to return a Product unless such Product does not conform to the Specifications or is damaged. If IMPAX agrees that a Product does not conform to the Specifications, DAVA’s sole remedy shall be as set forth in this Section 6.2. XXXX shall return the non-conforming Product to IMPAX, at a location designated by IMPAX and at IMPAX’s expense. IMPAX, at no expense to XXXX, shall either, in IMPAX’s sole discretion, (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to replace any non-conforming Product, or (ii) immediately provide a credit to XXXX for any amounts paid by XXXX to IMPAX on account of the Products in question. If IMPAX proceeds with replacing the non-conforming Product, then replacement Products shall be supplied by IMPAX to XXXX at no cost to XXXX if XXXX has already paid for the rejected Products and not received a credit therefor, as aforesaid. XXXX shall have one (1) full Business Day after receipt of the Product to claim a delivery shortage and failure of such notice shall constitute acceptance of the amount of Product delivered. | ||
6.3 | In the event IMPAX does not agree with DAVA’s determination that a Product fails to meet Specifications, the Parties shall, in good faith, attempt to resolve such dispute. In the event the Parties cannot resolve such dispute among |
Page 15 of 45
themselves, either Party may submit the matter to an independent testing laboratory agreeable to both XXXX and IMPAX for a binding opinion. The expenses of obtaining the binding opinion shall be equally shared by XXXX and IMPAX. In the event that the Parties do not agree to submit the dispute to a testing laboratory or do not agree on an independent testing laboratory, the Parties shall remain free to pursue a remedy in a manner consistent with Article XIV hereof. |

7.5 | In the event XXXX or IMPAX shall be required or requested by any governmental authority within the Territory (or shall voluntarily decide) to recall a Product because such Product may violate any Laws or for any other reason, the Parties shall cooperate fully with one another in connection with any recall. If either Party believes a voluntary recall is necessary, the other Party shall not object to such recall. If a recall is due to IMPAX’s negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement, IMPAX shall reimburse XXXX for the Acquisition Price paid by XXXX for such recalled Product (to the extent paid by XXXX), all of the reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by XXXX in connection with the recall, including, but not limited to, the costs of retrieving Products already delivered to customers, the costs and expenses XXXX is required to pay for notification, shipping and handling charges, reasonable attorney’s fees, and such other costs as may be reasonably related to the recall. If a recall is due to DAVA’s negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement, XXXX shall remain responsible for the Acquisition Price for the recalled Product and shall reimburse IMPAX for all the reasonable costs and expenses described above actually incurred by IMPAX in connection with such recall including administration of the recall and such other actual costs as may be reasonably related to the recall. If a recall results from a cause other than the negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement of or by XXXX or IMPAX, the Parties shall equally share all costs of the recall, including the Acquisition Price. Prior to any reimbursements pursuant |
Page 17 of 45
to this Section 7.5, the Party claiming any reimbursement shall provide the other Party with reasonably acceptable documentation of all reimbursable costs and expenses. Neither party shall be liable to the other for consequential damages or lost profits whether in contract, warranty, negligence, tort, strict liability or otherwise, due to a product recall or the manufacture, storage, shipping, transportation, delivery, labeling, sale, marketing, distribution or use of the Product. |

It shall be DAVA’s responsibility to make any required reporting and payments under such government agreements. | ||
7.8 | Within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, XXXX and IMPAX shall enter into a Quality Agreement in form and content reasonably acceptable to XXXX and IMPAX (“Quality Agreement”).

The foregoing notwithstanding, with respect to Section 9.2(v), XXXX Activities shall be limited to the design of the XXXX Label and Tablet Specifications and DAVA’s Promotional Materials. |
9.3 | A Party seeking indemnification (“Indemnified Party”) shall notify, in writing, the other Party or Parties (“Indemnifying Party”) within thirty (30) days of the assertion of any claim or discovery of any fact upon which the Indemnified Party intends to base a claim for indemnification. An Indemnified Party’s failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not, however, relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability under this Agreement to the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually denied, during the period of delay in notice, the opportunity to remedy or otherwise mitigate the event or activity(ies) giving rise to the claim for indemnification and thereby suffers or otherwise incurs additional liquidated or other readily quantifiable damages as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party, while reserving the right to contest its obligations to indemnify hereunder, shall be responsible for the defense of any claim, demand, lawsuit or other proceeding in which the allegations, if proved, would trigger the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under Section 9.1 or 9.2.

9.4 | During the term of this Agreement and for a period of not less than twenty four (24) months following the termination of this Agreement, each of XXXX and IMPAX shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates who are involved in the manufacture or distribution of the Products to) carry or be subject to coverage under (as an additional insured under its own policy or policies or a policy or policies of its parent corporation), at its own cost and expense, comprehensive general liability insurance and product liability and contractual liability insurance with respect to suits brought in the Territory, or maintain self insurance coverage (directly or through an Affiliate), in an amount of not less than twenty million dollars (US$20,000,000) in the aggregate and ten million dollars (US$10,000,000) per occurrence, which insurance, if not in the form of self |
Page 23 of 45
insurance coverage, will be written on a claims made policy form for product liability with an insurance carrier or carriers reasonably acceptable to the other Party (which will have a retroactive date no later than the Effective Date). Each of IMPAX and XXXX shall, at the request of the other, provide reasonable evidence to such requesting Party of compliance with its insurance obligations under this Section 9.4 and evidence of renewals of any such policy, from time to time. IMPAX shall cause XXXX to be named as an additional insured\vendor under the product liability insurance policy or policies to be obtained and maintained (or caused to be obtained and maintained) by IMPAX pursuant hereto for bodily injury and property damage caused by Products supplied by IMPAX to XXXX. XXXX shall cause IMPAX to be named as an additional insured for bodily injury and property damage caused by those acts or omissions for which XXXX is responsible hereunder under the product liability insurance policy or policies to be obtained and maintained (or caused to be obtained and maintained) by XXXX pursuant hereto. |

Such employees and advisors will be advised of the nature and existence of the confidentiality undertakings of this Agreement and of the applicability of such undertakings to them. |
10.2 | The Parties acknowledge that they are party to a Bilateral Confidential Disclosure Agreement, dated October 14, 2005, (“CDA”) which is expressly superseded by the terms provided herein. The Parties further acknowledge that the obligations set forth in this Article X shall apply retroactively to the treatment of any and all Confidential Information disclosed pursuant to the CDA. Confidential information is any information relating to the business or business plans of a Party including, without limitation, know-how, formulas, trade secrets, clinical or non-clinical data, processes, specifications, costs and customers (“Confidential Information”).

Page 24 of 45
Information of any other Party or any information with respect to the existence and terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of such other Party.

If a Party is disclosing information relating to this Agreement, or any of the terms hereof, to comply with statutory or regulatory reporting or disclosure or legal process requirements, such Party intending to make such disclosure shall give each other Party at least one (1) days’ prior notice in writing of the content of the intended disclosure and shall, in good faith, give reasonable consideration to any comments proposed by such other Party. Once a particular disclosure has been approved, notice of additional disclosure of the same information shall not be required. If such statutory or regulatory reporting or legal process disclosure requirements would require earlier disclosure, the notice shall be provided as early as practicable. |
10.2 | The Parties agree that equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, is appropriate in enforcing the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.

RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN
Presented below is an overview of the Risk Management Plan needed to support ongoing marketing of
Oxycodone HCI ER Tablets. We will need to adjust certain elements of the RMP to accommodate a
scenario whereby a marketing partner takes over either partial or complete distribution of this
product.
Online Training and Educational Materials
We now have the following training/educational materials in place, which are currently accessible
from the IMPAX/Globalphar website:
• | Physician Training | ||
• | Pharmacist Training | ||
• | Patient Information | ||
• | Distributor Manual | ||
• | (xxx.xxxxxXxxxx.xxx) |
The links on the Globalphar website all lead to a server maintained by LearnSomething, the company
that developed the training materials through collaboration with IMPAX and BuzzeoPDMA. Links could
also be assigned on the XXXX website (xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx).
The accreditatiion body providing CME credits for the Physician Training required that no company
affiliation appear on that particular training module. As such, IMPAX’s logo and sponsorsh!ip is
not associated with the Physician Training. The other three modules all feature an IMPAX banner
logo at the top of each webpage. This will likely have to be modified to feature, for example,
IMPAX and XXXX or XXXX alone. Even if XXXX is the sole distributor of all product strengths we
will still have some 80 mg product in commercial channels that bear the Global label. Thus, it may
be necessary to feature both companies on the webpage banner until such time as no more Global
branded product remains in distribution channels.
The content of the training materials is now complete. Any additional changes to the webpage
presentation should involve just the revision of logo and other branding elements, so this should
be relatively easy to update. We will have to coordinate any such changes through LearnSomething
and BuzzeoPDMA.
Call Center Support
We currently use MedComm Solutions (Emeryville, CA) to provide Call Center support for questions
from healthcare providers, patients, and caregivers. Our labeling and marketing materials cite the
IMPAX toll-free number in Philadelphia (800-934-6729). Callers are then given the option to enter
“5” and be connected to IMPAX’s oxycodone information hotline.
Page 41 of 45
Entering the number 5 redirects callers to MedComm Solutions in Emeryville. MedComm identifies
incoming calls using the caller ID and answers the call on behalf of IMPAX. If XXXX is the sole
distributor of IMPAX’s oxycodone product line they will need to incorporate a separate toll-free
number on their labeling and marketing materials. MedComm Solutions maintains a bank of unused
toll-free numbers and can easily assign one for use by XXXX. The caller ID should then allow
MedComm Solutions to distinguish calls coming from IMPAX or from XXXX.
Adverse Event Support
We currently use Drug Safety Alliance (Durham, NC) to provide post-marketing adverse event support.
DSA collects all spontaneous AE’s, enters them into their validated database, conducts a medical
evaluation for severity and expectedness, and then prepares the appropriate MedWatch form, which
IMPAX RA submits to FDA. Reports from DSA are either expedited reports, requiring submission to
FDA within 15 days, or quarterly reports. After oxycodone has been marketing for 3 years we will
only be required to submit adverse event reports, other than 15-day reports, annually.
We will need to coordinate with XXXX and DSA in order that XXXX immediately forward any spontaneous
AE’s they receive on to DSA. It would make no sense for XXXX to forward any AE’s to IMPAX as we in
turn would just forward them on to DSA. IMPAX will continue to submit all required AE reports
since we remain the holder of the ANDA.
Adverse Event,Trendinq Reports
A significant piece of the ongoing RMP resides in the biannual trending reports prepared by GALT
Associates (Blue Xxxx, PA). GALT initially prepared a baseline trending report that evaluated
trends for 3 drug definitions over the most recently available 3-year baseline time interval. The 3
drug definitions were: a) all narcotic products, b) single entity hydromorphone, and c) single
entity oxycodone. The baseline report was submitted to FDA in our Year 1IQuarter 2 periodic Adverse
Event report.
Under the terms of the RMP we need to submit biannual trending reports that cover subsequent
6-month time intervals. Our plan is to submit these with every other periodic quarterly adverse
event report. If subsequent trending reports reveal increased incidences of abuse, misuse,
diversion, etc., we are then expected to implement measures aimed at curbing such abuse, misuse,
and diversion. Obviously, it is still too early in the marketing history of this product for such
trending reports to reveal any pattern of abuse or misuse associated with the IMPAX product. The
first 6-month report is due to FDA about the end of October.

provided, however, that in the event that XXXX shall have instituted or have instituted against it
any insolvency, receivership, bankruptcy or other proceeding for the settlement of its debts, any
portion of the Appointment Fee then remaining unpaid shall, in the event such proceeding shall have
been instituted by XXXX, thereupon become immediately due and payable and, in the event such
proceeding shall have been instituted by a Third Party, become due and payable on the
61st day that such proceeding remains pending..
If the last Business Day of the year is other than December 31, any of the above payments shall be
made on the last Business Day.
The foregoing amounts shall be payable even in the event that the appointment shall have been
converted to a non-exclusive arrangement pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6.
