AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SUPPLY AGREEMENT
This Amendment No. 1 to Supply Agreement (the "Amendment") is entered into
by and between Glaxo Wellcome Inc. ("GWI") and Catalytica Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
("Supplier") as of May 28, 1998, and amends that certain Supply Agreement
entered into by and between Supplier and GWI effective as of July 31, 1997
(together with all exhibits and schedules thereto, the "Agreement").
RECITALS
--------
A. Supplier is modifying the production capacity of Module 2 of Building
3 in the Primary Facility.
B. GWI wishes to amend the Agreement to reserve additional reactor
capacity in the Primary Facility during 1998 and 1999, and Supplier is agreeable
to reserving such additional capacity for GWI.
C. GWI may have sufficient requirements to request the Supplier to
produce [* * *] in the pilot plant (Module 7 of Building 3).
THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

2. Supplier and GWI acknowledge that Supplier is presently modifying its
manufacturing capabilities in Module 2 of Building 3 in the Primary Facility
pursuant to Contract Number 98003 made and entered into as of January 29, 1998
(the "Services Agreement"), by and between GWI and Supplier (the "First
Modification"). Supplier has also agreed to undertake and is undertaking, at
its expense, an additional modification of Module 2 in the Primary Facility,
which modification involves adding a new vessel and will result in an additional
[* *] Reactor Gallon capacity (the "Second Modification"). Both the First
Modification and the Second Modification are expected to become fully
operational for production of saleable product on August 15, 1998. Supplier
agrees that upon completion of the two Modifications, it will be able to provide
GWI with an additional [ * ] Reactor Gallons from August 15, 1998 through the
end of 1998 and an additional [ * ] Reactor Gallons for 1999. These incremental
Reactor Gallons are included in the revised aggregate Reactor Gallons reserved
as set forth in Paragraph 6 below.
3. As agreed to in the Services Agreement, the First Modification is
expected to increase the Primary Facility's production capacity for finished [ *
* * ] to a new total of [* *] metric tons per year. GWI and Supplier have
agreed that the best estimate of the Primary Facility's production capacity for
finished [ * * * ] when the Second Modification is completed, and
assuming the Profile Plant as amended hereunder, would be [ * ] metric tons per
year. However, GWI and Supplier acknowledge uncertainty will remain as to the
actual level of annual production capacity for [ * * * ] until Supplier
has actual experience with multiple production batches following completion of
the First and Second Modifications. Therefore, after 90 days of operation
following completion of the First and Second Modifications, the parties agree to
promptly meet and

agree (i) to jointly review the production output data of the modified Module 2,
(ii) to establish a second Reactor Gallon Factor for [ * * * ] to be
utilized where the [* * *] is routed through Module 2 (the "M-2 RGF"),
and (iii) to revise the linear programming model referenced in Section 2.4(b) of
the Agreement and described in Schedule 2.4(b)(ii) to the Agreement to take into
account the production output of the modified Module 2, a copy of which revised
model shall be deposited in escrow pursuant to the LP Model Software Escrow
Agreement dated as of July 31, 1997. Should the parties be unable to agree on
the M-2 RGF within 30 days of the end of 90 days of initial production, then
they will select a mutually agreeable independent third party with recognized
expertise in chemical manufacturing. This independent third party, along with
[* * * *] of Supplier (or such other individual as Supplier may
designate) and [ * * * ] of GWI (or such other individual as GWI may
designate) will jointly establish the M-2 RGF. The decision of two of these
three individuals shall be binding on GWI and Supplier.
4. The review of production output data for the modified Module 2 and the
establishment of the M-2 RGF shall not result in any adjustment to the
Guaranteed Revenues set forth in Paragraphs 10 and 11 below.
5. In connection with the Modifications, GWI shall have no obligation to
make any payment to Supplier other than (i) as specifically required under the
Services Agreement between GWI and the Supplier, (ii) payments under Article V
of the Agreement for Products produced in the Primary Facility, and (iii)
Guaranteed Revenues under the Agreement as amended herein. In no event shall
GWI be obligated to make any other payments related to or arising from the First
or Second Modifications, and Supplier shall bear all of those expenses,
including without limitation all expenses for validation, trial runs, and scale-
up production batches.
